The art of sound in New Bedford

At the New Bedford Art Museum, through June 4:

“Sound in Space, Sound in Place’’ is a survey of contemporary sound art, foregrounds sound and listening as powerful shapers of everyday experience and draws attention to sound’s unique properties as an artistic medium.

The exhibition features a collaborative work by established sound artists John Driscoll and Phil Edelstein—the richly exploratory sound installation “Cluster Fields” (2018–2023)—as well as “New Bedford Soundscape,’’ a crowdsourced collection of audio recordings by New Bedford residents; “Sonic Textures of Place,’’ experimental sound works by UMass Dartmouth students in Professor Walker Downey’s Spring 2023 sound art seminar; “NBWaves,’’ by Scapeghost, and “Whirly Chorus,’’ by Tess Oldfield.

Scott Bishop, aka Scapeghost, performs his six-song “NBWaves,’’ on April 28, 6-8p.m.
