Hear, Here.

Drew Austin

A sonic exhibition exploring the interconnection of sound, locale, and storytelling.

The Denver Armory

“Identity is articulated through the places we occupy, but both are constantly changing.”-Jeremy Atherton Lin (Gay Bar: Why We Went Out, p.250) Grounded in sound-based work, Hear, Here. explores place, location, and storytelling, informed by the human experience and the imperfection of memory.A tether to something once lived, felt, or imagined, sound operates less as documentation of an experience and more as the translation of a feeling—an attempt to carry emotion, atmosphere, and presence across time and space to the present moment. Whether rooted in a specific neighborhood, an interior wall, or a distant landscape, each work captures the impression of being somewhere and offers that recreated impression to the viewer as something to step into.Can sound take us somewhere we have never been? Can it create familiarity without experience or recreate a memory without contextual history? Can sound build an environment that unfolds entirely in the mind? Can the mind feel a narrative structure before it is understood?The resulting works privilege sensation over accuracy, asking what it means to feel a location rather than see it. Sound has the capacity to evoke place as feeling alone, allowing the listener to inhabit an experience that exists only in shared sensation. Please dress warm! This exhibition takes place in a historic building with limited heating. Please anticipate cold weather and dress accordingly: beanies, winter jackets, stylish scarves, gloves, etc. Accessibility notes: This exhibition is primarily driven by sound and sonic exploration; those with limited hearing or hearing impairment may find some works difficult to engage with directly. This exhibition contains bright lights, moving imagery, and deep base sounds. This exhibition takes place on the first floor of The Denver Armory, which is accessible by wheelchair. There is a single, gender-neutral bathroom on site for use. Limited lot parking (gravel, not paved) is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please opt for street parking in the surrounding area so those with limited mobility can utilize the lot if you are able. This project is supported in part by an award from the RiNo Art District.
