In June, the High Museum of Art will unveil “Sonic Playground,” an installation of sound sculptures by internationally renowned designer Yuri Suzuki.
The installation on the Woodruff Arts Center’s Carroll Slater Sifly Piazza continues a multiyear initiative to animate the High’s outdoor space with site-specific commissions that engage visitors of all ages in participatory art experiences. It will be the High’s first venture into exploring the notion of audible play — how sounds can be constructed, altered and experienced.
On view from June 24 through Oct. 7, “Sonic Playground” will feature ingenious, colorful sculptures that modify and transmit sound in unusual, engaging and playful ways. For example, the Parabolic will send sounds form one of the piazza to the other without using electricity while the Switch will allow visitors to shift sounds
The installation will also set the stage for various performances and art-making activities. This programming will take place on a rotating schedule throughout run of the installation during the High’s First Friday, Friday Jazz and Second Sunday events.
