A Double Listen: a Sound-Based Exhibition and Site-Specific Performance


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Toolbox Percussion is delighted to present a sound-based exhibition “A Double Listen”. The exhibition and its eponymous performances will open to the public on 19 June 2021 at 17/F, H Queen's, running through to 8 July 2021. “A Double Listen”, serving as a dossier, features many of the past and new aesthetic attempts of Toolbox Percussion. The exhibition is title sponsored by H Queen’s and HART.

Installation work Round by composer Fung Lam delves into the playfulness of percussive arts. The mahjong playing piece depicts different ways of playing mahjong as the sole instrument of the piece, injecting traits of quotidian pastime into percussion. While a series of spatial performances (as well as site-specific auditory experience) will feature Fung Lam's room-filling compositional sequences.

 Positioned as music happenings in a gallery space, these performances will also feature works by Steve Reich, John Cage, and Samson Young.
