Examining the contemporary phenomena of sound art, the fifth edition of the Around sound art festival, Around sound art festival 2015 seeks to uncover the multi-layered range of perspectives by showcasing the artistic process behind concepts dealing with sound. The exhibitions bring together local and international artists, each with a very distinct set of language, tools and techniques used in resonating their ideas. Aside from the exhibition, through performances, workshops and talks, we attempt to break down assumptions that audiences might have on the definition of sound art.

This year, the festival is curated by Aki Onda (JP / US) and Helen Homan Wu (US/ HK) in which they explore how a new generation of sound and visual artists use sound as an artistic medium or conceptual art form. Artists Chelpa Ferro (Brazil), Feng Hao (PRC), Phoebe Hui (HK), Eli Keszler (US), Jacob Kirkegaard (Denmark/ Germany), Rie Nakajima (JP/UK) and Sergei Tcherepnin (US) are invited to exhibit their works at Osage Gallery and Karin Weber Gallery. Talks and performances will be presented together with Dennis Wong (HK) at School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong and McAulay Studio, Hong Kong Arts Centre.

爲了解聲音藝術的當代現象,第五屆的「聽在」聲音藝術節希望透過展示藝術過程背後的概念,以探索和發現對聲音藝術那多重的觀點。展覽把本地和海外藝術家帶到一起,對於如何闡述自己的意念,他們各有自己的一套語言、工具、技巧。除了展覽,通過演出、工作坊和講座,我們希望打破觀衆對聲音藝術定義可能的假想。

由Aki Onda (日本/ 美國) 、Helen Homan Wu (美國/ 香港)策展,今年的藝術節旨在探索新一代的聲音和視覺藝術家如何運用聲音作爲一個創作媒介或概念藝術形體。參與藝術家Chelpa Ferro (巴西) 、馮昊 (中國)、許方華 (香港)、Eli Keszler (美國)、Jacob Kirkegaard (丹麥/德國) 、中島吏英 (日本/英國) 、Sergei Tcherepnin (美國)的作品將會於奧沙畫廊及凱倫偉伯畫廊展出;而藝術家講座和演出亦會連同黃仲輝 (香港)假香港城市大學創意媒體學院和在香港藝術中心麥高利小劇場舉行。

. . . aka Nikola Mounoud
Sound artist or musician (it depends on your taste) . . . a.k.a. Nikola Mounoud is also member of the LUFF – Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival – organisation crew, active as music co-programmer, sound technic and most recently coordinator for the LUFF does Tokyo that was held for the 10th anniversary of the festival in 2012. He is also co-founder of the associative photo & cinema laboratory “On fait du l’art !” in Lausanne, Switzerland.

For the past few years . . . has focused on the exploration of both analogue and digital feedback as sound source. Unlike the chords, skins, strings and wind of acoustic sound, feedback is an unstoppable implacable sonic evolution (so long as electricity is present to feed it!). Riding many musical waves as we all do . . . uses a laptop and an analogue mixer to produce his live compositions, well hewn from the coal face of improvisation!
