Musician, author and curator David Toop discusses his Hayward Gallery show, Sonic Boom: The Art of Sound. The first major UK exhibition of sound art, it drew together practitioners across improvised music, performance, sound design and the visual arts.

Organised in partnership with Afterall, Exhibition Histories is a regular series of talks at the Whitechapel Gallery focusing on contemporary art exhibitions from the past fifty years that have changed the way art is seen and made. The series is inspired by the Exhibition Histories books published by Afterall.
