Long Gone, Still Here
Sound as Medium

The international group exhibition “Long Gone, Still Here – Sound as Medium” is part of the programmatic reorientation of the Museum Marta Herford to position itself as a place of synaesthetic experience in the future.

The exhibition focuses on multi-sensory installations in which artists explore the human experience of hearing or not hearing or hearing differently. They deal with the immaterial medium of sound in its physical dimension and use its potential to create inner images through what is heard, to awaken memories and to determine the spatial experience. In addition, the exhibition also addresses the experience of deaf and hearing-impaired people of being structurally and systematically excluded in the majority society of hearing people.

In the context of the exhibition, Marta Herford celebrates its 10th anniversary with the format Marta philharmonic – a cooperation with the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie.
