Christine Sun Kim’s exhibition ‘All Day All Night’ will close at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis on August 30, ending a five-month presentation focused on the ways sound can operate beyond hearing. The exhibition opened on March 28 and is installed in Galleries 1, 2, and 3 at the museum.
According to the Walker’s exhibition description, the presentation examines the “nonauditory and political dimensions of sound,” combining sharp wit with incisive commentary. The wording points to an approach in which sound is treated not only as an audible phenomenon, but also as a social, spatial and political system. The supplied material does not provide a checklist of works or a detailed account of the exhibition’s themes beyond that description.
An installation image distributed by the Walker identifies the exhibition as ‘Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night’ and credits photographer Eric Mueller. Another image caption in the Walker’s newsletter identifies a work by Christine Sun Kim and Thomas Mader, ‘ATTENTION,’ from 2022, shown in an installation view of the exhibition. The available source material does not specify whether the work was made especially for the Minneapolis presentation or describe its installation in detail.
The exhibition is presented by the Walker Art Center, a contemporary art institution at 725 Vineland Place in Minneapolis. The museum’s newsletter places ‘All Day All Night’ within its visual-arts and exhibitions programme, alongside other exhibitions and public offerings. The institution’s published material also includes accessibility information and identifies support from Walker members and a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, though it does not link that funding specifically to this exhibition.
The closing date was highlighted in the Walker’s August 18 newsletter, which listed ‘All Day All Night’ among exhibitions nearing the end of their runs. The same newsletter separately promoted Suzanne Jackson’s ‘What Is Love,’ which closed August 23, as well as events including a sensory-friendly evening and the outdoor programme ‘Sound for Silents.’ Those listings are part of the museum’s broader communications and are not identified as programmes within Kim’s exhibition.
‘All Day All Night’ remains on view at the Walker Art Center through August 30, 2026, in Galleries 1, 2, and 3, Minneapolis.
