Sound art is an art discipline that treats sound as a primary time-based medium or material. Barbara London curated Sound Art at the Museum of Modern Art in 1979, an early major museum exhibition to use the term as its title.
I also did the show Sound Art, which sometimes people remember, in 1979. Because sound art is oral, not visual and MoMA primarily had been a visual institution, the powers that be refused my doing a big sound show. So I did a small one.

Then my last show at MoMA in 2013 was called Soundings: A Contemporary Score. That was a large sound art show. I worked two years on that exhibition.
