This dissertation explores the variety of ways in which music is present in the contemporary art museum. Despite nearly a half century in which recorded sound has occupied the museum, its presence in the museum is still under-acknowledged in both critical and scholarly literature. Across four chapters I examine both the landscape of contemporary artistic production that engages sound and music as the subject of visual art, as well as curatorial and museum display practices. Through close readings of artworks and exhibitions, I show how sound and music, when placed in the institutional context of the visual arts and the art museum, transforms art's reception. I extend existing accounts of sound in the museum by expanding the definition of sound art and what objects in the museum are discussed in terms of sound and listening. I also emphasize how recorded sound challenges our understanding of art's authorship by involving a variety of actors, especially curators and audiences, more intimately in its construction, while turning attention to what I describe as the "ambient infrastructure" of both the museum and everyday life. While I don't aim to be exhaustive, this dissertation relates key aspects of the history of both the museum and artist's engagement with sound and music. It is also a critical project that investigates recent artworks, artistic practices, and exhibition strategies in order to better understand how music and sound are shaping contemporary art and museum space.The project is divided into two parts. In the first half I explore artworks and artistic practices, focusing on artists who utilize music and sound's infrastructure-speakers, microphones, electrical cables, and the architecture of the stage-and artists who incorporate musical formats, namely the vinyl record, into installation and sculpture. In the second half I turn my attention to other ways in which sound is present in the museum and the other actors responsible for its presentation and interpretation. In the third chapter I take exhibitions as my{A0}object of study and explore how curators consider sound in both the conceptualization and installation of exhibitions. In the fourth chapter I consider the history of the audio guide and the recent use of playlists as an accompaniment to art to understand how music evolves our experience of art in the museum as well as the presentation of its history. Drawing on interviews, close readings of artworks and exhibitions, histories of art and museums, and theories of sound, space, and perception, this dissertation expands the ways in which sound is discussed in the context of art and the museum and draws attention to the impact sound and music are having on the space of and encounter with visual art.
