Re-Asia Project: Prologue

“Re-Asia Project: Prologue” marks the first offline gathering following the launch of the “Re-Asia Project” announced at the Beginning of Spring (Lichun) earlier this year. The metaphor of ‘casting a brick to attract jade’ (Pao Zhuan Yin Yu) framed our dialogue – initiating with personal explorations (the ‘brick’) to draw out collaborative visions (the ‘jade’).

Tschabalala Self: The Illusion of the Self

The extent to which the “self” is a fabrication of power discourse, a remnant of collective consciousness, or an illusion woven under the name of “I”—how do these questions enter the inner world, infiltrate private spaces and penetrate the dreams that soak them? The exhibition “The Illusion of the Self” by Tschabalala Self (b.1990), opening on March 19, 2025, at Longlati, serves as a case where these inquiries are transformed into an inward exploration.

El Otro, El Mismo

Longlati is honored to announce the opening of a group exhibition on September 10, 2024, featuring twelve artists inspired by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges’ (1899-1986) poetry collection El Otro, El Mismo. Through six thematic threads, the artists will engage in a rich dialogue that explores shared dimensions of discourse. Throughout the entire exhibit, the clues of identity (social roles), contradiction (synthesis and detachment), life (personal experiences), memory (familiarity), dust (migration and color), and time (the eternal moment) are interlinked.
