Cory Arcangel and Hampus Lindwall's 'Hidden Noise' Expands into Exhibition at Villa Lontana

exhibition · 2026-06-29

Villa Lontana in Rome is hosting 'Hidden Noise: Sonitus Occulti,' an exhibition curated by Vittoria Bonifati featuring the works of Cory Arcangel and Hampus Lindwall. The display includes archival materials, artworks, and sound pieces from the artists, alongside contributions from Ellen Arkbro, Nils Henrik Asheim, Pierre Bismuth, and others. This exhibition stems from a series of organ concerts inspired by Fluxus that began in Paris in 2018, drawing connections to Marcel Duchamp's 1916 readymade 'À bruit secret.' This fifth edition builds upon four previous versions, transforming the concert series into an exhibition that examines the pipe organ's significance in modern sound and composition, featuring works including Duchamp's 'Erratum Musical.'
