Samson Young solo exhibition at Smart Museum

  • Smart Museum 5550 South Greenwood Avenue Chicago, IL, 60637 United States (map)

Born in Hong Kong in 1979, Samson Young received his BA in music, philosophy, and gender studies at the University of Sydney before obtaining an MPhil from the University of Hong Kong in 2007 and a PhD in music composition from Princeton University, New Jersey, in 2013. His compositions, drawings, installations, radio broadcasts, and performances touch upon topics such as military conflict, identity, migration, and political frontiers past and present. Sound and its cultural politics are at the heart of a practice that interlays multiple narratives and references.

This performance will be a part of Silver moon or golden star, which will you buy of me? (solo exhibition)
