DAYS PUSH OFF INTO NIGHTS
Spring Workshop

During the next two months, visitors to Spring Workshop — the host of one of Hong Kong’s best multidisciplinary residency programmes — will be offered moments of reflection and reminded of the elusive moments that pass unnoticed in their busy lives.

Called “Days push off into nights”, the group exhibition, which presents artworks and performances, is set to tackle two dimensions of time.

It does this by documenting times past and showing works and scenarios that keep changing over the duration of the exhibition.

“The works point to an array of quiet quotidian moments that we commonly encounter. They are presented as enriching and lyrical experiences,” says curator Christina Li, who will further explore the relationship between art objects and ephemeral events when she commences a one-year directorship at Spring in August.

“It is also a reflection and an emphasis on the value and meaning of solitude, writing — as a form of selfexpression — and self-reflection, all of which are rare in our fast-paced lives.”
