Juan Sorrentino is a sound artist and experimental musician who works across sculpture, performance, installation, video, photography, and recording
Sorrentino creates sonic sculptures and sound installations exploring concepts of visual language, nature, ecology, poetic context, and collective imagination. He is best known for his works made from burning trees, ashes, ground, bricks, tiles, metals, and dusts in physical interaction through industrial motors and low-frequency sounds, including those outside the range of human hearing, such as seismic or quark vibrations.
In his works, sound is not limited to what can be perceived by standard human hearing, but also includes other visceral experiences. His work, therefore, becomes an inclusive experience for everyone, including those with extreme hearing loss or impairments.
Sorrentino is a professor in the Electronic Arts degree program at the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero and in the Combined Arts degree program at FADYCC, Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, Chaco. He is also the director of the MONTE artist residency, located in Colonia Benítez, Chaco, Argentina.
Sorrentino has exhibited at PAC Milano (IT), Whitechapel Gallery (UK), MAAT (PT), Bonniers Konsthall Art Museum of Stockholm (SE), Círculo de Bellas Artes (ESP), CCK (ARG), MACBA (ARG), Fundación Proa (ARG), ARGOS (BE), Tromsø Center for Contemporary Art (NO), among others.
In 2025, Sorrentino was selected for the Connect Argentina residency alongside Céline Manz.
