We are looking forward to Samson Young’s first West Coast solo exhibition ‘New Work: Samson Young’, opening on 21 December, 2024 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art @sfmoma (SFMOMA), USA. Widely recognized for his singular approach towards sound and new technologies, Young utilizes performance, video, and installation to rigorously examine the cultural, political, and historical contexts of sound. ‘New Work: Samson Young’ debuts ‘Intentness and songs,’ a multimedia installation that poetically traces the idiosyncratic rhythms of love, memory, and experiences of time. In this interconnected audiovisual landscape, Young draws on the duration and rhythm of human and generative AI memory recall processes as the basis for polychromatic sculptures, videos, and a mesmerizing soundscape. Visitors are invited to wander through pathways of wooden boards with markings created through a mix of techniques and 3D-printed boards etched and embedded with objects and memories excerpted from the lives of the artist and his husband.
