Sound is a mechanical wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing. 193 SOUND is a collection of musical sounds: continuous, regular, site-specific vibrations that tell the story of our small space in Lexington, Kentucky. This compilation records the artists, performers, musicians, and general sound-makers who have emitted, transmitted, and radiated their own SOUNDS within our walls and that now travel into your range of hearing.
Institute 193 collaborates with artists, musicians, and writers to produce exhibitions, publications, and projects that document the cultural landscape of the modern South.
