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.

Tan Yongqing: Fantasy

Curated by Yang Jian, “Fantasy” is Tan Yongqing’s (b.1990, Shijiazhuang) first institutional show in China.  Driven by the idea of “Decade after Decade”, this is the first time for Longlati Collection and Patronage Program to present the stage achievements of the practices of post-90s Chinese artists since its launch in 2017, among which Tan Yongqing has long been concerned and given strong back to.
