The Substation is an accessible venue.
Soak up this multi-sensory exhibition exploring sound and memory. Middle Of A Moment celebrates the expansive practice of renowned artist, composer, and curator Aki Onda.
Presented by The Substation and Asia TOPA, Arts Centre Melbourne
Based in Mito, Japan, Aki Onda’s Middle Of A Moment is the first survey of his installation work in Australia. Concerned with the interplay between ephemerality and materiality, Onda’s practice is one that lends equal weight to object and subject. He considers the traces of being, placing focus equally on sense, memory, and site. Middle Of A Moment presents several major works from Onda, including his collection of hand bells, and his work that forms a trace of language through air, 'Nam June's Spirit Was Speaking To Me'.
Curated by Lawrence English
