Spring presents “Days push off into nights” curated by ChristinaLi – Feb 28 to Apr 26, 2015

Days push off into nights

Exhibition Dates: February 28–April 26, 2015

Participating artists: Moyra Davey, Lee Kit, Job Koelewijn, and Magdalen Wong among others.

Curated by Christina Li

“There are two sisters: one gives birth to the other and she, in turn, gives birth to the first. Who are the two sisters?”

***

How do we produce meaning and expression within stationary moments and pockets of slowness? Days push off into nights is a series of situations that compose a common space of stillness. Evoking a suspended period at the intersection of writing, solitude, and self-reflection, the artworks are born from and point to the necessary recesses often buried in our hurried lives. Pieced together, they form a collection of experiences (eventful and meditative alike) that also mark the passing of time, unfolding inside the exhibition space.

Days push off into nights invites visitors to imagine and experience these rare contemplative moments on one’s own, and, when called for, in shared company.

Days push off into nights will present the works and performances of a host of international and local artists at Spring Workshop from February 28 to April 26, 2015.

Experience a series of situations at Spring Workshop, a non-profit arts space committed to an international cross-disciplinary program of artist and curatorial residencies, exhibitions, music, film, and talks.

Christina Li is available for interviews by request.

The answer is “day and night.”
