Open Systems Residency: Huichun Yang – Spatial Sound, Handmade Instruments, Collaborative Performance
Open Systems Studios will host Taiwanese sound artist Huichun Yang for a two week residency in Portland, Maine. Yang works at the intersection of spatial sound, hand-built wooden instruments that become sculptural objects, creative coding, and performance art. During her residency, she will create new work in our quadraphonic performance space, teach workshops on handmade instrument building, and present multiple public multichannel performances, both solo and collaborating with other local artists.
Open Systems Studios is a collaborative artist run performance space, studio and gallery that is committed to fostering creative collaboration with artists within Portland and Beyond. Additional collaborator/partners with Jason Gibbs in Open Systems Studios include John Fireman, Grace Bedwell, Zane Kanevky, and Sam Seda.
