No Door, One Window, Only Light / Home Is Where the Music Is
<p>This publication documents and contextualises two parallel exhibitions by Chris Zhongtian Yuan: <em>No Door, One Window, Only Light</em> at Macalline Art Center, Beijing and <em>Home Is Where The Music Is</em> at Reading International, Reading, as part of a wider UK–China collaborative project.</p> <p>The two exhibitions and related events provide a conversation around Chris Zhongtian Yuan’s architectural and musical approach to engage with the filmic medium. Yuan examines ways in which spaces of exile and absence are politicised. Recomposing vernacular sonic and spatial materials, Yuan’s work investigates narratives and politics simultaneously building and dismantling our everyday spaces. Drawing from a wide range of music genres such as punk, jazz and noise, Yuan uses sound in a way to re-imagine and improvise memory and resistance.</p>
