SAMSON YOUNG (b.1979 Hong Kong, China) is a sound artist and composer based in Hong Kong. Behind each of his projects is an extensive process of research and fieldwork, involving a mapping of the endeavour through “sound sketches” and recordings. His works take the form of live performance, videos, and drawings that transcribe sonic events into graphical scores.

Young studied music, philosophy and gender studies at the University of Sydney and holds a PhD in Music Composition from Princeton. He has presented his work at the Asia Triennial Manchester; Moscow Biennale of Young Art; Amos Anderson Museum, Helsinki; Kunsthalle Winterthur, Switzerland; Today Art Museum, Beijing; and Museum of Contemporary Arts, Taipei. Young is the inaugural winner of the Art Basel-BMW Art Journey Award 2015.

About

Following a trip on a container vessel from Israel to New Jersey in 2011, I conceived of the Container Artist Residency. As part of the project, I facilitated, through a long chain of emails, calls, WhatsApp texts, and the funds obtained from a shipping line a residency at sea for seven artists (eight to be exact, as one of the artists was a duo). This website stand alongside the website dedicated to the first edition, and is meant to record and present the process of producing the project, as well as continuing a conversation with the different contributors who took part in the residency. With the goals of realizing further editions in the future, it will also host the records of the anticipated continuation of the project.
