ArtAV recently completed the AV installation for Listening All Night To The Rain by John Akomfrah at the Walker Art Gallery, continuing our work supporting the exhibition across its international journey.

This installation has evolved beautifully in every space it has inhabited, and seeing the work come together within the architecture and atmosphere of the Walker Art Gallery has been especially rewarding. We highly recommend visiting whilst its in the North of England.

What does your exhibition sound like?🔊

The right AV system doesn't just display art — it amplifies it. From perfectly synchronised multi-screen installations to spatial audio that pulls visitors deeper into the work, we design AV that becomes part of the experience.

We've done it for Tate, BALTIC, MoMA and more. We'd love to do it for you.

Pleased to be featured by Audiologic in their latest case study 👏

The piece explores how we use carefully curated audio technology across a range of art installations — always with a focus on enhancing the experience without distracting from the work itself.
