Press Release

On view in the Found Space are two works from the M+ Collection: Round Table–Side by Side (1997) by Chen Zhen and Sonic Rescue Ropes (2021–2022) by Haegue Yang. Chen’s wooden sculpture merges two tables—one western and one Chinese—and a host of chairs from different cultures to point to the difficulty of cross-cultural communication. Yang’s installation Sonic Rescue Ropes, commissioned for the Found Space and the vertical Lightwell Hall, consists of gleaming cords of bells that stretch from the ceiling in different heights. When activated they elicit sublime, resonating sounds that conjure shamanistic and pagan associations. Found Space on B2, shaped by the rail tunnels that run underneath the M+ building, is a striking and signature display space for major projects and special commissions.

M+ facilitators will be on-site to occasionally activate Sonic Rescue Ropes.
