“An exposition, not an exhibition” March 11 — April 1 Spring Gallery
The product of two residencies at Spring Gallery, this exhibition by American composer and artist Ari Benjamin Meyers is taking place across seven locations in Hong Kong. The presentations will explore problems concerning how music is presented or put on display within the setting of a contemporary art space. Meyers looks to disrupt conventional notions of musical rules, in the aim to create new ones. The work stems from his ongoing research into the essence of live musical performance and the questions surrounding its protocols for audiences, performers and institutions.
