The Kitchen: Never Real Objects series launches with a programme of artists whose works are unified by sound and music. Working across various disciplines, these artists engage with different modes of live practice. They deeply consider the histories, institutions and contexts which frame how they are imaged, who is listening and how they are heard.
This unique programme presents a dynamic selection of performance documentation videos. Questions of circulation and presence come to the fore. The programme also features a short live sound performance by artist and composer C. Spencer Yeh, and is followed by a talk with Yeh, artist Lex Brown, and Lumi Tan (Curator, The Kitchen).
