About this Event
Music artist and composer Lucinda Chua will stage a live performance within Lap-See Lam’s installation , during the exhibition's closing week.
Primarily improvising on cello, and using an array of effects units, Chua will create a soundscape that blends intimacy, atmosphere, and experimental meditations.
Within the gallery, Lam collaborated with sifu Ho Yeung Chan on a large-scale bamboo scaffold installation, utilising a building technique that has traditionally been employed to create elaborate temporary stages for Cantonese opera performances. Chua’s musical performance responds to and inhabits the space, reflecting the hauntologies explored in Lam’s work.
About Lucinda Chua
Cellist, composer and singer-producer-songwriter Lucinda Chua creates elemental landscapes that hold delicate songs.
Born in London, Chua has English, Malaysian, and ancestral Chinese roots, deep connections that are excavated in her recent album, YIAN (2023), which, as Pitchfork writes, “gathers the threads that link home, history, and their relationship to the body.”
Having performed in unorthodox venues, from the depths of the planetarium to the top of a multi-story carpark at sunset, her cinematic performances bring the music to life, where she approaches the room and everyone in it as her instrument.
