Spectrosynthesis Seoul, Art Sonje Center, Korea
Art Sonje Center with the Sunpride Foundation presents Spectrosynthesis Seoul, on view from March 20 to June 28. As suggested by its title—a combination of “spectrum”, referring both to the phenomenon of light dispersing into rainbow colors and to diversity, and “synthesis”, the process of bringing ideas and objects together—the exhibition brings together 74 artists who have explored queerness across the boundaries of time, space, and institutions. Centered on Seoul as its site, Spectrosynthesis Seoul unfolds the present moment of queer art and its future possibilities.
[View... Same Yet Different (1996)] will be shown in this group exhibition.

Bow Skills workshop: listening and sound meditation as a research method for artistic creations with Dr. Hoi Shan Anson Mak

Usually, we rely heavily on looking to understand a place or its inhabitants; what about listening? How does listening help create visual art? Join moving image and sound artist and Oxford Mindfulness Foundation trained mindfulness teacher Dr. Hoi Shan Anson Mak for a reflective and interactive session using listening and sound meditation as a research method for artistic creations.
In this workshop, Anson will explain the basic principles of sound such as frequency, amplitude and speed, plus “The Three Listening Modes” by Michel Chion: causal listening, semantic listening, and reduced listening. Anson will also guide a sound meditation that helps shift from the thinking mode embedded in our habitual patterns to the direct experience mode of listening to sound as it is.
Visual artists working in various media will benefit from the experience of appropriating listening.
Participants will do the listening practices, followed by an interactive and reflective discussion. No previous experience is required—come along and find out!

Offline Memories is a four-part public programme exploring the Hong Kong LGBTQ+ Archive of Printed Matter from the Pre-Internet Era. Moving across screening, artist talk, poetry reading, dialogue and lecture performance, the series traces how queer histories were circulated through zines, film festivals, government documents, personal stories and creative writing before digital networks. From early video works by Ellen Pau and Anson Mak to Eric Yip’s poetic response and Dorothy Cheung’s newly created pixel game, the programme opens multiple ways of engaging with the emotional, social and political textures of Hong Kong’s queer past.

No Such Person examines how our sense of home anchors memory and shapes identity. Through a deeply personal lens, Anson Mak—who has relocated 32 times throughout her life—employs autoethnography to re-visit her artist archive of video works, music, and writings. In the newly commissioned works, Mak investigates her longstanding interests and concerns surrounding identity, memory, and cultural belonging. Curator Chloe Chow approaches the exhibition as a researcher, and analyses how Mak’s intimate first-person perspective illuminates a broader narrative of social transformation. Through this exercise, Mak’s personal odyssey becomes a window into examining a vast array of collective experience of sex/gender movement, community rebuilding, mental health issues, and displacement.
