Performative Screening: The sanguineous surge in the belly of the sky.

A performative screening by Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi & Andrew Yong Hoon Lee with contributions by Jade Barget and Fabian Saul. 

Exploring the intersection of cinema, text, and sound through an assemblage of found footage, the artists map out our entanglements with elemental media, such as the skies and their celestial bodies––the carriers of information since time immemorial. Gazing skywards and subterraneously, we will be thinking of ways of seeing and being when tangled in weather and planetary motions. We will pay particular attention to vision caught in clouds, fog, or mist—compromised ways of seeing, asking for uncertain ways of sensing. 

This performative screening is the first of three chapters which will continue at the Museum of Art and History in Geneva and the Migros Museum in Zürich. 

Join us for a Film Program guest curated by Cinematic Involutions exhibition artist Tulapop Saenjaroen with performative screening by Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi and Andrew Yong Hoon Lee. Following their screenings, the artists will be in conversation with Filmmaker and AFVS PhD Candidate, Kendra McLaughlin. by @holyhum

+ I came across the work of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha at a time when I felt like I needed some proof in the world that there was another way to be an artist outside of what was presented to me. A way of working with the aesthetics of silence, the poetics of distance and cultural displacement and its creative potentials, the presencing of absence as form, the permutations of working across multiple media simultaneously, the refusal of transparency. 

+ Language falls short of fully articulating what it means to make a work in dialogue with Theresa Hak Kyung Cha whose spirit has been a guiding light. And in the same breath, there is not enough words to express the true honour of collaborating with Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi whose intellectual generosity and openness of spirit have forever left an imprint on my path. 

+ Normally, as an artist, the materials one works with do not arrive in a form; fully charged, with the expressiveness of their intent. Our nine contributors are titans in their respective fields and I am forever in gratitude for their unwavering trust in us and allowing us to work with and alongside their already expansive thinking and feeling contributions of texts, poetry, sounds, songs and utterances. 

+ The work takes its formal structure from a conversation that Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi had with a former prisoner of conscience who would communicate with other inmates through the subterranean plumbing system. This encounter demonstrated that speaking one’s truth was a vital act - especially during a climate of fear where what can be said and not be said are determined by the state. 

+ “The light comes in the name of the voice” is a 10 channel sound installation that was a collaborative work by myself and Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi, designed by Georges Pakalidis and curated by Christina Lehnert as part of the exhibition:

Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi & Andrew Yong Hoon Lee 
The light comes in the name of the voice (movement II), 2026 

Steel pipes spread through the exhibition space like roots, carrying hushed voices that invite visitors to listen closely. In their 3-channel sound installation, artists Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi @hannguyenchi and Andrew Yong Hoon Lee @holyhum bring forward voices that have been silenced. Developed from Nguyen-Chi’s conversation with a former prisoner of consience, the work translates experiences of confinement and enforced silence into a spatial and sonic encounter. Inspired by how inmates used sewage pipes to communicate across prison cells, the installation reimagines these hidden networks of connection. Voices emerge through the pipes, including excerpts from the letters of Rosa Luxemburg, who reflected on the sounds she heard through the walls of her prison cell. The result is a polyphonic meditation on confinement, resistance, and the ways sound and language can cross physical and political boundaries. ✉️

The installation is on view until 07.11.2026 as part of the exhibition “Subterranean” curated by Aditi Kapoor @aditi_______kapoor and Sarah Johanna Theurer @sarahjohanna.t at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich. 

Opening hours

Curated by Sarah Johanna Theurer @sarahjohanna.t and Aditi Kapoor @aditi_______kapoor , brings together works by Joyce Joumaa, Ghislaine Leung, Thuy Han Nguyen Chi & Andrew Yong Hoon Lee, Valentin Noujaïm, and Marina Xenofontos. 

Five contemporary artistic positions reveal the invisible work that flows daily into the (re)production of our everyday social lives. Using various narrative strategies, they bring buried (hi)stories to light, peer into the black boxes of industry and the financial world, and explore forgotten alternatives to the regimes of productivity and competition.

Opening tomorrow, Nizhonniya Austin’s solo presentation, “Trying to be Alaska” with a preformance by Andrew Yong Hoon Lee at 7:30 pm!

Drawn from memories of the artist’s childhood home, from which the exhibition takes its title, these works return to the geological and familial formations that shape her understanding of place. Beneath her painting’s exuberant formal invention lies a distinctly kincentric worldview, in which land, animal, ancestor, weather, and bodily presence are understood as mutually constitutive discrete domains.

@holyhum again and again

This summer was full of reflections as I travelled back to Vancouver for a dear friend’s wedding. I first met them at one of Andrew’s concerts nearly ten years ago.

A strange little circle, then, to see his name appear in my inbox while we were both briefly back on the coast

We met by the water at twilight and made these.

@patrickmenard_ kept us humble

6PM-8PM

Here’s the process: sit with the work, conversations with Nizhonniya, conversations with Tara, think about loops, experiential fields, improvisation as explicit and implicit language, think about land, think about displacement,  think about weather formations as desire expressed through nature, and then you think through these things and share it with others. 

Performing at the opening of Nizhonniya Austin’s solo exhibition at Tara Downs Gallery this Wednnesay.

Some good news✨I’ve been awarded an 
Initial Research Fellowship here in New York.

Really grateful for this opportunity to take some time to ask more questions before they become projects—to listen, experiment, and think alongside others.

Very excited for the year ahead and to get to hang out with the other fellows. 

Thank you, Yuan Fuca, Christina Chang and Huidi Xiang for the invitation. by @holyhum
