Nicola Arthen – Hearing Trucks, Probably Dreaming Better
Audio installation
Main space

Hearing trucks probably dreaming better is both a temporary installation and a preview of An Intricate Well, Arthen’s solo exhibition that will open on 10 July. It marks the second part of P/////AKT’s exhibition program Am I an Object, which loosely addresses the dissolving boundaries between the body and the object. As the exhibition approaches, P/////AKT will host the euphonious ruuurrrump of delivery vehicles arriving at the site.
