JULY 2026
Artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller create immersive sound installations that encourage visitors to interact directly with an instrument. Their work, The Instrument of Troubled Dreams (2018),is a 1960s Mellotron keyboardprogrammed to play a range of music, soundscapes, and vocal tracks. After sitting down to play the instrument in the galleries, young artists are invited to craft their own sound instrument to take home and share.
