The Emily & Todd Voth Artspace is pleased to present Listening to the Land is the opening reception for the exhibition, Life on Land.
Life on Land is the third exhibition in a trilogy that reconsiders landscape through artistic practice, cultural memory, and lived experience. The exhibition is on display January 30–March 13, 2026.
Listening to the Land, a series of artist-led encounters that extend the themes of the exhibition through embodied engagement with sound and place. Designed as a set of experiential programs, the series invites participants to attune to landscape through listening, movement, and shared observation.
Inspired by the exhibition, the program includes a sound activation created by composer, musician, and land steward Paul Rudy; an evening of film organized by artist and film scholar Caitlin Horsmon; and a range of field-based experiences, including artist-led walks. Highlights include a guided listening walk with land artist and environmentalist Karen McCoy, and a visit to the KU Field Station to experience Here-ing, a land art installation by Janine Antoni, created in partnership with the Spencer Museum of Art. Together, these encounters offer expanded ways of understanding landscape as something heard, felt, and experienced over time.
