Introduction Curating an exhibition requires a careful balance between thematic coherence, audience engagement, and logistical feasibility. Initially, ‘The Second Skin: Unstitched Narrative Threads’ was envisioned as a 6-12 week exhibition, potentially hosted at Fruitmarket Gallery’s Project Space. However, after considering financial constraints, venue accessibility, and curatorial fit, I decided to relocate the exhibition to Dovecot […]

This week we return the power of the exhibition to the audience and participants. In an open-ended ‘Show & Tell’ activity, we invited peers to bring an object – an old photograph, a souvenir, a sound recording …… any object that carries personal experiences and memories. Any fragment of reality that carries personal experiences and […]

This week’s activity for our group: Objective: To construct a ‘real sound field’ with multiple layers of sound superimposed on each other, exploring co-temporality, perceptual dislocation and sound politics. 📋 Overall methodological structure: Each participant will take turns to record in real time while listening to the previous person’s recording, creating ‘layers’ of sound. Each […]

This week’s event for our Collective is The Theater of Reality in Contemporary Art. Here’s how it’s going to go: 10 min Introduction Briefly introduce the theme of Sleepwalker, the background of the film and the goal of the day: we are not watching a film, but rather observing ‘who is manipulating the reality of […]

The curatorial practices explored in your blog address two significant contemporary curatorial concerns: the Definition of Reality and Sustainable Curatorship. These approaches demonstrate how curatorship can intervene in social issues and challenge audience perception. However, they also face methodological and practical challenges, including the constraints of medium, the passive positioning of audiences, and the risk […]

This week, I had an in-depth conversation with several students engaged in art practice, each of whom brought in works on different themes, ranging from gender, virtual futures, social structures to historical memories, each of which engaged in personal perspectives and critical thinking. Below are their works and key words of the discussion: 1. SAN […]

I propose the artist and the artwork: 1.《mAcHiNe E.L.F.》 Since the 1970s, Tony Oursler has been a pioneer of new media art, exploring the intersection of technology, mental states and society through multimedia installations, moving images and immersive environments. In mAcHiNe […]

This week our Collective had a group meeting to discuss topic selection and future plans. We decided that each person would come up with a topic and then vote on the choice. The topic I proposed was: Collapsing Realities Topics: The Cracking and Disappearing of Reality: when reality collapses, what is left? When the boundaries […]

Visiting GOMA in Glasgow was an immersive experience that deepened my understanding of contemporary curatorial approaches. I am primarily interested in exploring the gallery 4 – ‘Domestic Bliss’ exhibition and in conjunction with the curatorial interviews, I have gained new insights into curatorial practice, spatial design and audience interaction. The exhibition not only showcases artworks, […]

I find this exhibition very interesting as it explores the relationship between nature, life, ecology and human beings under the theme of ‘Plants’. The artworks are rich and varied, ranging from sculptures and installations to paintings and video works, presenting the growth patterns of plants, the similarities between biological structures and the human body, as […]
