「Grieve the Departed Wound」Joshua Serafin個展Eaton HK、Tomorrow Maybe
We're returning this March with our annual Art Month programming, running from March 20 to May 10, presenting a cross-disciplinary program of exhibitions, performances and nightlife interventions that foreground embodied experience, vulnerability and collective transformation under this Art Month's theme of "Visceral Echoes".
On site at our Tomorrow Maybe gallery, Brussels-based Filipino performance artist and choreographer Joshua Serafin (they/them) will present "Grieve the Departed Wound", a solo exhibition themed around the speculation of their indigenous heritage and intergenerational knowledge. Working across dance, performance, visual arts and video, Serafin's multidisciplinary practice examines spirituality, ecology, queerness and ways of inhabiting the body within a Postcolonial Philippines context through creating alter-egos, myth-making and world-building.
An exhibition opening reception will take place on March 20, from 6pm to 9pm, where Joshua will be present to welcome visitors and offer insight into the narratives and processes behind their work.
Serafin's performative exhibition would transform Tomorrow Maybe from a white cube gallery into a black box stage, encapsulating movement in objects. Visitors are invited to drift through the physical and conceptual debris of their previous performance, following the artist's instructions to perceive and perform the embodied rhythm between themselves and the artworks. Through reconstructing the scenography of past performances into installations, videos, and paintings, the exhibition renders the gallery into a vessel for the state of grieving, reconfiguring the relationship between wound and healing, relic and proposition, object and time, across performance and exhibition.
