Spring will co-host the final act of our Moderation(s) project: The Part In The Story Where A Part Becomes A Part Of Something Else, a large exhibition held at the space of our project’s partner in Rotterdam, the Witte de Witte Center for Contemporary Art. Curated by Heman Chong and Samuel Saelemakers, the show features over 40 artists from Hong Kong and elsewhere, including A Constructed World, Nadim Abbas, Allora & Calzadilla, Ang Song Ming, Bik Van der Pol, John Cage, Chen Zhen, Ceal Floyer, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Minja Gu, Sharon Hayes, Ho Rui An, Ho Sin Tung, On Kawara, Kwan Sheung Chi, Nicolás Lamas, Lee Kit, Michael Lee, Gabriel Lester, Marysia Lewandowska, Charles Lim, MAP Office, Anthony Marcellini, Ahmet Ögüt & Cevdet Erek, João Vasco Paiva, Willem de Rooij, Praneet Soi, Koki Tanaka, Leung Chi Wo + Sara Wong, Magdalen Wong, Adrian Wong, Haegue Yang and Trevor Yeung. The exhibition will run from May 22 to August 17, 2014.

Spring is delighted to host Rajesh Mehta as composer-in-residence from May 19 to June 9. During his stay in Hong Kong, Rajesh will invite us into his musical cosmos by sharing his ongoing music-architecture project “Sounding Buildings” featuring a site-specific response to Spring’s unique environment.  He will conduct workshops involving members of the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble and students from The Modern Academy and the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, and engage the wider public through an Open House on June 6 at the end of his residency at Spring.  Things you can expect to hear are Mehta’s trumpet innovations such as the “drumpet” and extensions including “swinging tubes and singing lamps” as well as the results of his past involvements with architects Steven Holl and Daniel Libeskind.
