A better alternative than loneliness: in conversation with artist, Simon Fuh
Thursday, September 12, 2024 | Alana Traficante
Summer last year artist Simon Fuh built a custom speaker stack, made one failed attempt, and then a successful one, moving the speakers out to the banks of Toronto’s urban ravine system for an all-night rave. The rave was to follow in the lineage of a series of studio parties he threw in his hometown, Regina, in 2019, and SUGARLOAF, a party he organized under the Bloor Viaduct in Toronto, with Pumice Raft in 2022. The night of the first attempt, following an infamous rainout, he and friends moved the speakers back to his shared studio in The PATH—an underground pedestrian walkway that links towers in Toronto’s financial district and various downtown tourist attractions—and instead, a dozen friends came by for a spontaneous party.
