UNIVERSAL SOLVENT
Curated by KJ BAYSA AND XIAOKUN QIU
Launch event 12.30pm Oct 16 2018 On ‘The Platform’ at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, NY
On display Oct 2018-May 2019
In dialogue with WCPUN and UNDP
A project that explores bodies of water both inside and out. The downloadable audio keys the listener into internal body sounds and the sounds of the largest bodies of water on the planet: the ocean. Occasional sounds of protesters marching through interweave in the soundscape, as if still present in the Plaza which is used as a massing site for UN protests. The audio is punctuated throughout with the haunting gong sound of various navigation buoys that were hit and left to resonate.
