K’ab Juun presents a solo exhibition of new works by Simon Hamui, exploring gathering and ritual through sound, form, and materiality. Centered around a musical console, the exhibition reimagines listening as a shared experience, creating an immersive environment where objects give form to space, perception, and collective presence.
K’ab Juun presents a solo exhibition by Simon Hamui, featuring a selection of new works from his 2026 collection. The exhibition explores themes of gathering, ritual, and the creation of shared space—reconsidering what it means to come together through sound, form, and materiality.
At its center is a newly developed musical console, conceived as a freestanding object accessible from all sides. Designed to project sound outward into the room, the piece functions not only as a device, but as a spatial anchor—organizing the environment around it and encouraging a collective experience of listening.
In contrast to the individualized nature of contemporary music consumption, the exhibition proposes listening as a communal act, one that shapes atmosphere, attention, and presence.
Surrounding the console, a series of furniture and sculptural works unfold as a cohesive spatial composition. Materials such as wood, onyx, glass, aluminum, and brass are brought into relation through volume, proportion, and geometry, allowing each piece to resonate within a unified system. Together, they construct an environment where sound, movement, and form operate in dialogue.
Works developed in collaboration with artist Edgar Orlaineta further extend this exploration, translating ideas of movement and choreography into spatial form. These pieces introduce a parallel rhythm within the exhibition, linking the act of listening with the experience of the body in space.
Rather than focusing on individual objects, the exhibition is conceived as an immersive setting—one that invites visitors to slow down, gather, and engage with sound as a shared experience. In doing so, it reflects on a form of togetherness that is increasingly rare, proposing design as a medium through which space, perception, and collective memory can be reactivated.
Listening sessions on Thursday evenings by RSVP only.
