  • It’s been an extraordinary couple of years for the Hong Kong-based composer and sound artist Samson Young. Young was awarded the first BMW Art Journey at Art Basel in Hong Kong in 2015, which allowed the artist to travel across five continents to study and record historic bells to create a “sonic history of conflicts,” and he has been traveling the world since. His sound projects and performances have made the rounds of the international art fair circuit, with commissions, films, and projects for all three Art Basel editions as well as Frieze London. He has had solo exhibitions in Hong Kong, Taipei, Hiroshima, New York, Kolkata, and now Düsseldorf, boarded an international commercial cargo ship for an artist residency, and was just nominated for the 2017 Absolut Art Award. Add to all that, later this year, Young will represent Hong Kong at the 57th Venice Biennale.

이력
Artist and composer Samson Young (b.1979) studied music, philosophy and gender studies at the University of Sydney and holds a Ph.D. in Music Composition from Princeton University. Young's diverse practice draws from the avant-garde compositional traditions of aleatoric music, musique concrète, and graphical notation. Behind each project is an extensive process of research, involving a mapping of the process through a series of "sound sketches" and audio recordings. His drawing, radio broadcast, performance and composition touch upon the recurring topics of conflict, war, and political frontiers. Key to Young’s interest in conflict is its interplay with identity. Young appropriates the components of music – beat, rhythm, notational signs and musical symbols – to flesh out global conflicts that have affected our past and present.
 
Young was the inaugural winner of the BMW Art Journey Award at the Art Basel Hong Kong 2015. He has participated in group exhibitions at venues including 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney; Asia Triennial, Manchester; Center on Contemporary Art, Seattle; Arko Art Center, Seoul; Kunsthalle Winterthur, Switzerland; the Moscow Biennale of Young Art, Moscow; Amos Anderson Museum, Helsinki; Today Art Museum, Beijing; and Taipei Contemporary Art Museum, Taiwan. Recent and upcoming solo projects include Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, Japan (2015); Team Gallery, New York (2015); Para Site, Hong Kong (2016); Experimenter, India (August 2016); and Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Germany (December 2016).
 
As a practising musician, Young is the member of multiple bands and has collaborated with ensembles and orchestras worldwide. He has participated in international music and performing art festivals including Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik, Darmstadt; Fusebox Festival, Austin; New York Electronic Art Festival, New York; Tonlagen Festival, Dresden; Transart Festival, Bolzano; and MONA FOMA Festival of Music and Art.
