To the Body聽is an immersive soundscape created for the exhibition聽, on view concurrently with the 60th Venice Biennale. It is a work in ten sections, played without pause and repeated without seam, in which fragments of Dietrich Buxtehude鈥檚聽Membra Jesu Nostri聽(1680) appear, but are themselves disembodied from their original context. A soprano sings a line drawn from the original cantata over a bed of electronically manipulated sounds, Renaissance and Baroque instruments, and other voices. The primary musical and emotional elements are memory, contortion, and recontextualization; these act hand in hand with Yu Hong鈥檚 work, as well as in counterpoint to them.
To the Body聽was commissioned by Works & Process with support from the American Academy in Rome and the Guggenheim鈥檚 Asian Art Circle.
Yu Hong: Another One Bites the Dust聽is organized by Alexandra Munroe, Senior Curator at Large, Global Arts, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and is a program of the Guggenheim Museum鈥檚 Asian Art Initiative that is supported by the museum鈥檚 Asian Art Circle.
