Feature Story “Invention as Invitation: Playing, Listening, and the Unfinished Instrument in the Universe of Chaklam Ng”
專題故事《創造作為邀請：吳澤霖宇宙中的玩樂、聆聽與未竟之樂器》

As we grow, we discover sound and “learn” sound—we follow the sonic symbolic order constituted by society unconsciously, losing our “acoustic consciousness” gradually. Dr. Ahkok Wong Chun Kwok discusses how artist Chaklam Ng’s instrument inventions undo the filtering habits of adults, invite audience to rediscover everyday sounds, and enter the open-ended play and listening. Perhaps discovering new and interesting things needn't be such hard work. By reawakening your “acoustic consciousness”, you will realise you have been surrounded by novelty and fascination all along.

在成長過程中，我們發現聲音，也「學習」聲音——不知不覺間跟隨社會建構出的聲音符號秩序，漸漸失去「聽覺意識」。黃津珏博士探討藝術家吳澤霖的樂器發明如何拆解成年人過濾聲音的習慣，邀請觀眾重新發現日常聲音、進入開放式的玩樂與聆聽之中。也許尋找新奇的事物不必勞勞役役，重新開啟「聽覺意識」，你會發現你一直在新奇有趣之中。

DIALOGUE and “Knead to build” Workshop with Minao Iguchi
Topological Cities – Minao Iguchi Solo Exhibition

有偈傾及「搓城一舊」工作坊– 藝術家井口美尚
拓撲城市 – 井口美尚個人展覽

With the support of soundpocket and Art Center Ongoing, Japanese artist Minao Iguchi is currently undertaking a one-month residency in Hong Kong. Minao’s works explore how the human body and mind are shaped by social norms. Minao’s previous works focused on topics such as fashion, diet, rituals, and conspiracy theories through the mediums of performance, video, and sculpture.

In Minao’s solo exhibition “Topological Cities,” starting from the theory of Topology which focuses on how things are connected and related, she will showcase performance videos and installations which explore the uncertainty of the boundary between body and city. For the “Knead to build” Workshop, Minao will explore together with the participants how we view the relationship between our bodies and the city, through building structures with protein powder. In the DIALOGUE, Minao will share her previous artworks and explain how bodily and social norms inform her artistic practice, and how they appear in her performances.

[pocketed grounds] ↔ ([[o]]) Bells – Cheri Tang Tsz-wai Solo Exhibition
[兜土] ↔ ([[o]]) 鈴 — 鄧芷蔚個人展覽

With the support of soundpocket and Art Center Ongoing, Cheri Tang Tsz-wai is currently undertaking a one-month artist residency in Tokyo. Rooted in a fascination with the acoustic potential of clay bodies, Cheri’s practice invites the audience to join her in uncovering the unique sonic personalities embedded in everyday matter.

In Hong Kong Cheri works with ceramics and often reflects on her reliance on commercial clay, feeling disconnected from the local earth. During this journey to Tokyo, she has extended her ongoing project 𝘱𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 from Hong Kong to the geological and urban landscapes of Japan. Her process is one of direct, quiet engagement: from construction sites, the city’s soil memory; from historic ceramic centers, locally mined clays. This is soil with memory – earth that remembers where it has been, what has passed over it, and what has been buried beneath it.

This exhibition is an expression of a material dialogue between the artist and the land. By blending these clays with industrial elements and field recordings from visited locations, Cheri has created a series of ceramic sound bodies – resonant vessels that give voice to the spirit of their origin. They are ([[o]]): an opening, a mouth, an ear, a threshold, a hollow that knows the shape of giving.

Cheri Tang Tsz-wai is supported by soundpocket’s Artist Support Programme 2025–26.

在聲音掏腰包與合作夥伴 Art Center Ongoing 的支持下，鄧芷蔚現正於東京進行為期一個月的駐留。基於對陶泥的潛在聲音的興趣，鄧芷蔚的創作邀請觀眾與她一起發掘日常物質中蘊藏的獨特聲音特質。

在香港做陶藝創作時，鄧芷蔚較常接觸到商業陶土，因此常常感到與香港的土壤疏離。在這個駐留中，她將持續進行的「兜土」計劃從香港延伸至日本的地質與都市景觀。她的創作過程是一種直接而靜謐的互動：從建築工地汲取城市的土壤記憶；從歷史悠久的陶藝中心採集當地開採的陶土。這是蘊含記憶的土壤—— 盛載它曾歷經何處、曾有何物踏過，以及埋藏的事物。

本次展覽是藝術家與土壤對話的呈現。透過將這些陶泥與工業元素及造訪地點的田野錄音融合，鄧芷蔚創造出一系列陶泥聲音裝置——這些容器為其起源的靈魂賦予了聲音。它們是 ([[o]])：一個開口、一張嘴、一隻耳朵、一道門檻，一個知曉給予之形狀的空洞。

鄧芷蔚為聲音掏腰包「藝術家支援計劃」2025 – 26 獲選藝術家。
