Bitten Peach 分桃 is an exhibition of contemporary art inspired by a queer reading of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio 聊齋志異, a collection of classical Chinese stories by Qing dynasty writer Pu Songling (1640-1715). The studio, as a physical and symbolic space, functions as a gestalt—a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. In this exhibition, the studio embodies an aesthetic, cultural and sensual universe where historical narratives intertwine with contemporary queer identities.
Exhibition dates: 21 November 2024 to 28 February 2025.
