Urban Topographies is a body of works based on a project undertaken by Redican in Hong Kong in 2006 and 2007. Whilst in Hong Kong Redican was inspired by one of the world’s most densely populated urban centers and found it a rich environment to focus on both physical public spaces and the inhabitants of the region.

Following the success of the multi-space installation One Song, Three Composers created at CentralTrak, The University of Texas at Dallas Artists Residency, Auckland based artist Shannon Novak will create a sound network through mixed media made up of a primary exhibition space in the AV Room at the Pah Homestead, inner satellite spaces (other spaces within the Pah Homestead), and outer satellite spaces (other spaces in Auckland linked to the Pah Homestead).
