Chisenhale Gallery presents a solo exhibition by Amalia Pica, featuring newly commissioned works across sculpture, photography, installation and performance. The exhibition elaborates upon Pica’s ongoing interest in the social act of listening, sites of collective celebration and historical technologies of mass communication. Pica describes her exhibitions as a conversation between the various works.

Join Contemporary Art Society Director Paul Hobson for a special tour of the exhibition.
