"Galerie Lelong will present the internationally renowned artist Alfredo Jaar and his provocative work The Sound of Silence, a sculpture-and-film installation that addresses difficult questions about the human response to the suffering of others, the responsibilities of the witness, and the ownership of images that serve as witness in the media. At once a moving elegy and instigator, The Sound of Silence, is a powerful testimony in Jaar’s longstanding examination of political injustices and the limitations of their representation through imagery. The exhibition will open to the public on Saturday, February 28, from 6 to 8pm, and the artist will be present.” –Galerie Lelong, For Immediate Release
