Residency: Lai Yu Tong

Working across different mediums and formats ranging from drawing to sculpture, children’s books to experimental music, Lai Yu Tong's practice constantly shape-shifts and avoids easy classification. Tying these various forms of expressions together is his interest in articulating the present, and creating adequate media to describe the times we live in.

With an interest in experimental music that has run parallel to his visual arts practice, Yu Tong hopes to use his time at dblspce to explore how the two disciplines can meet. For his residency, he will be using dblspce as a site for writing a soundtrack to the end of the world. He hopes that this speculative premise will set the tone for fellow artist musicians to come together and make music together. Through the residency, he also hopes to discover new ways of making within the intersections of sound, writing, visual arts and performance.
