To mark the closing of the exhibition ‘Take Turns’, artist Wing Po So will collaborate with Andio Lai in a live performance that brings the exhibition to a resonant conclusion.

The interplay of movements and sounds has been a core component throughout the exhibition, emerging from natural materials such as abalone shells, dried beans, and recordings of the processing of traditional medicinal materials. In this live performance, So will gather and extract sonic elements through movement and materials integral to her practice, engaging with both the displayed works and the surrounding exhibition space. Through audio recording and mixing, Lai will arrange, transmute, and fuse these sounds into a ‘sonic decoction’. The performance will unfold in three chapters: beginning with an introduction of the distinct sounds of materials induced by various motions, before evolving into a sonic exploration of different ranges and textures, and concluding with a participatory jam session.

Following the performance, Para Site and the artist will host a casual gathering to celebrate the closing of the exhibition. Light refreshments will be available. The event is free and open to all—no RSVP required.

25 May, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Venue address: 10B, Wing Wah Industrial Building, Quarry Bay
