Tangible Sound: Arrival to a Higher Ground
April 25 – November 8, 2026
Chicago Cultural Center, Michigan Avenue Galleries, 1st Floor East
Imagine walking inside the thunderous sound of a taiko drum or feeling enveloped by the sinuous sounds of a saxophone, cello, or bass. What if your body became part of a visual landscape of colors, textures, and movements that resonated with the bone-tingling sound vibrating in your ears?
Tangible Sound: Arrival to a Higher Ground creates a sensory and celebratory experience of jazz art forms that connect, uplift, and transform our human spirit by translating the power of music into color and movement.
Together, photographer Lauren Deutsch, filmmaker Jonathan Woods, and the Tangible Sound Collaborative created an immersive exhibition celebrating Chicago’s creative improvised music community. The exhibition is inspired by the early experimenters whose boundary-breaking practices have influenced generations of visual and sonic artists.
This exhibition is dedicated to Ancestors Timuel D. Black, whose immense impact on the spirit, art and activism in Chicago continues to propel us forward, and the legendary musician, mentor and community-builder Fred Anderson.
