Sophie Steiner and Chatori Shimizu, Everything on the Line, music performance commissioned for the exhibition Tan Mu: Signal, 2025.
Projects
BEK keeps three open threads, each a question it has not finished asking, carried across exhibitions, productions, and writing rather than settled in any one of them.
Thread 01
Ongoing, from 2026
Time
Time takes the tempo of attention as its subject. Active Rest set painting, scent, sound, and anaesthesia around one proposition: that rest is something practised, a quality of attention with its own tempo.

Thread 02
Ongoing, since 2025
Signal
Built on Tan Mu's Signal series, the thread reads submarine cables and network maps as a contemporary sublime. It has travelled from painting into a catalogue, a concert for strings, and interviews.

Thread 03
Ongoing, from 2026
Memory
Memory follows work that treats the past as material for the present. Chanvipava's Parallel Worlds anchors the thread; two essays and the Open Forum archive keep it legible once the exhibition closes.
