‘Chorus’ is an array of motor-assisted pendulums which will be suspended from the roof of the Boiler House. Mounted on each of the pendulums are a light and a speaker. Together these pendulums form a single instrument that explores the relationship between performance, sculpture and installation. – uva.co.uk

Mannam (Korean for meeting) investigates the relationships between Korean and non-Korean designers based in New York City.

From June 15, Mannam presents the fourth dialogue:
Standard Local Time with Chris Ro & Huy Vu.

This project is an attempt at bridging the geographic, temporal, and emotional distance between two people who live half a world apart: one participant is in Korea, the other in New York. Over the course of the show, their conversation will take residence in Project No. 8 in the form of two fax machines that will display feelings, declarations, and ideas in a common and public space. This setting allows them to have a disjointed dialogue that, due to an extreme time zone difference, happens simultaneously at night and day. Visitors to Project No.8 are encouraged to send their own faxes and join the conversation.
