Sound Art Exhibition Voices/Landscapes Explores Hong Kong's Sonic Environment at Kwun Tong Ferry Pier

Voices/Landscapes (for the eye and ear) was a sound art exhibition held on the Kwun Tong ferry pier in West Kowloon, Hong Kong, during summer 2014. Curated by Carlo Fossati for the (Around) Sound Art Festival, which traveled from Kyoto to Hong Kong, the exhibition featured four site-specific works. Phill Niblock contributed a video projection that was later screened separately at Connecting Space due to spatial challenges. Michael Graeve installed second-hand electronics in a storage area, while Paolo Piscitelli created a clock installation exploring commuter time. Tetsuya Umeda presented a performance using industrial materials that produced hollow drones. Organized by Soundpocket, an organization dedicated to sonic practices, the exhibition coincided with the beginning of Hong Kong's Admiralty district occupation. Soundpocket director Yeung Yang described the work as reaching out to different parts of the city. The exhibition was reviewed in ArtReview Asia's Spring 2015 issue.
