Edouard Malingue Gallery is pleased to share the news of an upcoming public programme, ‘We Are One?’ co-presented by M+, the Hong Kong Arts Centre and HKADC complimenting Hong Kong’s participation at the 57^th Venice Art Biennale with Samson Young’s ‘Songs for Disaster Relief’. The programme, ‘We Are One?’ will present film screenings and conversations hinged on the theme of charity efforts, thereby providing a wider context for Young’s newly commissioned work for Venice.

‘Songs for Disaster Relief’ (2017), in which well-known charity fundraising singles popular in the 1980’s are re-visited and re-framed. The work aims to explore the social, philosophical, and political questions that these compositional techniques and procedures pose in a cross-cultural context. The investigation is realised in a series of drawings, objects, video, spatial sound installations and site-specific works that together constitute a unique audio-visual experience.

 ‘We Are One?’ will take place at Hong Kong Arts Centre Cinema, Hong Kong on 16, 17 & 23 October, 2017.
