Opening Reception: August 30th from 7-9PM
Memory Lane curated by Tangent Collective is exhibiting in The New Gallery’s Main Space.
In Memory Lane, Tangent Collective examines how memory can shift and change whether it be in someone's personal life or in collective histories. Bringing together the works of Yuxiang Dong, Lan “Florence” Yee, Beichen Zhang, Shellie Zhang, and Andong Zheng: Tangent Collective highlights the reality altering abilities of mass censorship, epistemological control, nostalgia and the gradual reproduction of collective memory.
Founded in 2021, Tangent Collective is a nomadic artists' and curators' collective maneuvering in Toronto/Tkaronto and China. It incubates cross-disciplinary dialogues and research-based practices in contemporary arts, surrounding issues of postcolonial studies, decolonization, and global infrastructure within the greater Chinese diaspora.
