In ‘Designs for the Pluriverse’ (2018), anthropologist Arturo Escobar argues for “the transition toward plural ways of making the world” in this moment of multiple crises. The exhibition’s title, ‘A Pluriversal Volume’, weaves this imperative into Salomé Voegelin’s theories of sound curation, specifically the paradigm of volumes for the curation of sound-based works in gallery space. ‘A Pluriversal Volume’ brings together the 23 graduating sound artists in works that span sculpture, installation, video and performance: here in their communing, exhibition is conceived of as ‘pluriverse’, each work its own world of experimentation, research and play, in dialogue with each other.
