2024 exhibitions highlights

Yique’s Way — Mutuality in Extremes

The exhibition "Yique’s Way - Mutuality in Extremes" chronicles Yique's artistic evolution leading to the polarizing East London Socialist Core Values. It explores his dialectical and Daoist-inflected approach, delving into human experiences within social constructs and in relation to existential themes. Yique challenges societal norms, encouraging viewers to engage with the complexities of mutuality and extremes in contemporary discourse.

Rain on the Platform - Tan Lijie, Selected Works (月臺過雨-譚荔潔展覽)

Held from 6 May to 7 June 2024, this exhibition showcased video and other photographic works by the artist Tan Lijie evocative of multiple shifting encounters between lived realities and enchanted realms. The intersectional multi-dimensionality of Tan’s work gives rise to subtly transporting atmospheres as well as unfolding relays of indeterminate thought and feeling. Spaces combine, interchange and deliquesce; time slows down, accelerates, compresses, expands, halts and reverses; sound intersects with silence and noises on the edge of hearing; narratives begin only to fade out, commencing differently elsewhere and at other times; meanings, intentions and identities are in plain sight but never made entirely emphatic.
