The Foolish Old Man Removes The Mountains: The Sounds And Images Of Yang Kui
For the first event in the Year of the Dragon, TheCube is pleased to collaborate with Yeh Hsing-Jou to present The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains: The Sounds and Images of Yang Kui, an exhibition that includes installations, lecture performances, videos, and documents. This exhibition explores the historical process of 鈥渕edia transformation鈥 in the literary works of Taiwanese veteran writer Yang Kui into music, songs, and concerts. This collaboration originates from TheCube Project Space鈥檚 exhibition project Sound Meridians initiated in 2020, focusing on how culture is transmitted and flows through sound, and how sound culture serves as a medium and material of historical topology to reflect the unique history and cultural features of a place. Following its exhibition in 2020 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei, Sound Meridians continues to expand into several online exhibitions. The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains: The Sounds and Images of Yang Kui, curated by Yeh Hsing-Jou, started from her online exhibition The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains: The Sounds and Images of Yang Kui in the 1990s to further explore its historical depth and transform it into a curatorial initiative of a physical exhibition, presenting the archive and the works of three artists in response to the theme. The exhibition aims to offer the audience a multi-faceted form to reacquaint themselves with the works of Yang Kui and his influence on contemporary creation.
