Avant-Garde Now is a regular series of one-day events that presents the cutting-edge moving image practices of local and international artists. The theme for the next edition, ‘Hidden Spaces’, continues a year-long exploration of different kinds of space. In this edition, the invited artists—Lee Kai Chung, He Zike, Samuel Swope, and YoungEun Kim—will present
works that reveal hidden spaces, shedding light on the histories, politics, systems, and traditions they contain. These are works that gesture toward the unseen depths of our collective psyche, obscured narratives of the past, and speculations on an uncertain future. Screenings, performances, and discussions inviting audiences into conversation with artists and curators will lay the foundation for future events, including the upcoming Asian Avant-Garde Film Festival in May.
