Small Talk is The Bass’ latest virtual series and, just like it sounds, they’re going informal. Join in on Zoom as the museum introduces and gets to know the voices, faces and minds behind works currently on view and in The Bass collection.

Susan Philipsz’s (b. 1965, Scotland) work deals with the spatial properties of sound and with the relationships between sound and architecture. She is particularly interested in the emotive and psychological properties of sound and how it can be used as a device to alter individual consciousness. Using sound as a medium in public spaces, Philipsz’s site–specific installations trigger an awareness in the listener and temporarily alter their perception of themselves in a particular place and time.
