Inga Huld Hákonardóttir and Yann Leguay
no lemons no melon
Working at the crossroads of performance and sound, Inga Huld Hákonardóttir and Yann Leguay reflect on the many meanings of amplification. Drawing as much on traditional culture as on conceptual art, they question the obsessive pursuit of ever more efficient communication. In this performance, sound becomes visible and silence audible. Hákonardóttir and Leguay seek to open a vanishing point in a chaotic world, one in which the technical object becomes an extension of emotion. Adapted specially for the Lower Room, the performance unfolds under the lights of La première fois, the work Joëlle Tuerlinckx conceived for the opening of Kanal.

About the exhibition
For several years, Joëlle Tuerlinckx kept a close eye on the construction of Kanal. With a light show and an explosive symphony of sounds co-created with Christoph Fink, she puts you under hypnosis and introduces you to the underground part of both the museum and her work. In the empty space, stories about foundations slowly blend with other tales.
