Heteroglossia#1: The History of Women as Darkness

In response to the shift of forefront of thoughts and resonate with the pulse of the times, the Longlati Collection and Patronage Program was initiated in 2017 with three themes: 20th-century international women artists, minority and multi-minority cultures, and the practice of post-90s Chinese artists. These threads fall within three emerging academic fields: feminist philosophy, minority theory, and Sinophone studies.

Let There Be Night

Conceived from its collection, Longlati Art Center will present a group exhibition, “Let There Be Night,” on June 8, 2023, featuring the works of seven artists – who may themselves have long been in the shades of discourse (Vivian Springford, Luchita Hurtado, Robert Reed), or who constantly gazes into the dark abyss (Yayoi Kusama), or who are sensitive to observing and uncovering the hidden places (Lonnie Holley, Christina Quarles, Richard Long). The exhibition will draw on their work to reinterpret the institution’s focus on the imagery of night.
