Sim Chi Yin at the exhibition One Way Ashore, a Thousand Channels at the Times Museum in Guangzhou (02/11/2024)
Sim Chi Yin will be featured in the group exhibition titled One Way Ashore, a Thousand Channels, curated by Tan Yue at the Times Museum in Guangzhou. Her installation, Shifting Sands, which consists of her photographic works, along with her VR piece, The Garden of No Return, will be on display. The exhibition will run from November 2, 2024, to January 26, 2025.
The exhibition aims to construct a circulatory narrative and spatial structure unfolding across four dimensions: "The Ring of Fire" highlights the geological origins and affinities of islands as well as their correlation with environmental disasters and social upheaval; “The Chants of Voyage" evokes a nonlinear understanding of time and illustrates how sound operates as a historical carrier in the oceanic realm; "Coral, Sand, and Floating Lands” provides new avenues for contemplating territorial issues amid a web of material entanglements, instability, and cycles; and in "New Dreams of Pirates," we draw from experiences of drifting and exile to negotiate our political and cultural identities between land and sea.
