【 #Centre3ExhibitionHighlight 】Follow along with Serena as she guides us through her latest exhibition titled “Playing the Mountain” at Centre[3]’s Main Gallery (Aug 26 to Oct 8, 2022). Below is an excerpt when Serena describes the process of composing the space around what is visible and what is not visible:

“[...] in the video, you can hear my grandfather describing his personal etymology of the word for music in Chinese, and he is referring to qualities of music that can’t be too bright — it can’t be too much sound. So a lot of it for me is playing with these elements in such a way that I am looking to the reverse and the negative. A lot of these forces, I’ve been tracing through internal martial arts practices where a lot of the language would ask you to embody the uprightness and the solidness of the mountain, and the sinking and fluid quality of the river.”

Serena Lee works with polyphony as a way of mapping how things come together and apart. She plays with movement, language, cinema, textures, space, and voice, tracing embodied knowledge through aesthetic, martial, and sonic practices. Born and raised in tkaronto/Toronto, Serena is currently based in Vienna, doing practice-based PhD research through the Akademie der bildenden künste Wien. Serena holds an MFA from the Piet Zwart Institute (NL), and an Associate Diploma in Piano Performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music (CA); she collaborates and practices close to home and internationally.
