These two notions interact in a way that creates new cultural, political and social meanings. These multiple densities and strategies are expressed through the architectural structure that hosts the exhibits. Made of plywood and Plexiglas, it is a display device that accommodates the conceptual and material needs of the exhibited projects. Lam Tung Pang, Lee Kit and Morgan Wong Wing-fat present performance and installation based works, whilst Cédric Maridet and Leung Chi Wo showcase sound
