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 nonauditory and political dimensions of sound. The exhibition has been on view since March 28, 2026, in Galleries 1, 2 and 3 at the museum.
The closing announcement describes Kim as “one of contemporary art’s most innovative communicators,” highlighting the exhibition’s combination of sharp wit and incisive commentary. Beyond presenting sound as a purely auditory subject, the show examines how sound can be understood through its social, political and nonauditory effects.
The exhibition’s framing places communication at the center of the presentation. Its emphasis on the “nonauditory” points to forms of experience and meaning that do not depend solely on hearing, while its political focus treats sound as connected to questions of access, power and public life. The available announcement does not provide a checklist of individual works or identify the media used throughout the galleries.
‘All Day All Night’ is presented by the Walker Art Center, a Minneapolis institution whose galleries host exhibitions across visual art and related practices. Installation documentation identifies the exhibition as a visual-arts presentation and credits photography by Eric Mueller, with the images provided courtesy of the Walker Art Center.
The exhibition has also appeared in the Walker’s family-news communications as part of a broader programme of museum information and activities. Those communications include separate material about tours led entirely in American Sign Language, but the available exhibition announcement does not state that those tours form part of ‘All Day All Night’ or provide dates for related events. They therefore remain distinct from the exhibition itself.
The Walker’s closing reminder gives the final public date as August 30, 2026. The exhibition’s documented run is March 28 through August 30 in Galleries 1, 2 and 3, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.
