Contemporary sound-based artists transform your MCA experience on select Fridays with custom soundtracks reflecting their perspective of works on view in the museum. DJ sets and bands occupy spaces in the museum as the building itself amplifies their sound constructions.
For this virtual Soundtrack, soul and R&B singer Nola Ade plays a live set from home of original music in response to works from the MCA collection.
Soundtrack is organized by Cameron McEwen, Coordinator, with January Parkos Arnall, Curator, and the Performance and Public Practice team.
