hoodwink
hoodwink celebrates the dissolution of bodies, instruments, performance practices, and sounds. In an age of post-instrumentalism and non-cochlear sound art, they imagine and appreciate performances that deconstruct bodies and instruments and intricately reassemble them in startling new forms.
Winnie Huang and Kevin Toksöz Fairbairn are multifaceted performing artists, curious to explore every aspect of regenerative decomposition through technique, instrument, and performance. Although they are specialists in contemporary music performance and experimental notations, they also perform and research many other alternative artistic expressions, ranging from musical-gestural performance to building experimental instruments. In their pursuit of the dissolution of body and instrument in sound and space, they experiment with post-instrumental repertoire, radical instrumental alterations and reconstructions, and musical-theatrical performances. They are equally at home performing traditional concerts and developing transdisciplinary collaborations and installations. Whatever form it may take, the dissipation of prior practices fosters new creatively nourishing endeavors that reimagine bodies, instruments, sounds, and spaces.
