So glad to participate in the Lingering exhibition with newcomers from other places, bringing together the diversity of art. I have been preparing for the exhibition since last year, and I feel lucky to have as the curator. I always got inspired when hving our virtual meetings. I also met amazing people when I collected some old items for my project at the beginning. They were curious about what I was working on, and we connected because of the exhibition. This was one of the greatest things I experienced during the project. Eventually, it has also become a part of my artwork. The object not only carries my good old memories from Hong Kong but also the new ones here in Toronto.
About the Exhibition
“From the exploration of memories and their representation in Marzieh M. Miri and Mohamed Meer’s photo works, to experiencing memories that live in our bones and being through Laurent Good, Nima Arabi and Sami Oritz’ paintings. The symbolism that comes with objects and memorabilia and takes us back to places and people with Dilys Ching’s work. While listening to words that break the silence and bring our awareness to the here and now through Niya Addullahi’s work and Saghar Beheshti and Moha Tavakolizadeh’s performance.
Tightly hugged between the walls, Sahar Alamgir traces back her steps, connects her fabrics together, framing the natural light of the summer days we await for so long. As time passes and the engravings take shape we ponder in their details as does Azadeh Pirazimian’s drawing and sculpture.
Once again we float and once again we linger.”
第一次喺陌生嘅地方參與展覽！過程中我遇到唔同嘅人，最有趣係當我收集舊物時遇到兩個香港人，佢哋好好奇我搞咩🤣點解我會問佢張凳點嚟，係咪香港帶嚟（可能佢哋覺得我好怪🙈）但係我解釋過後，佢哋都表示有興趣睇呢個展覽，我亦將呢張凳做咗我其中嘅展品。呢個係一個有趣嘅一面之緣～
喺多倫多嘅各位，如果想睇呢張凳同我張畫，又唔嫌遠（喺Etobicoke)，可以嚟一睇！因為仲有其他出色嘅作品，其他artists一樣都係呢個地方嘅new comers！我都好期待睇到佢哋嘅作品！
