Isaac Chong Wai at Myth Makers - Spectrosynthesis III exhibition at Tai Kwun Hong Kong (31/01/2023)
From December 24, 2022, to April 10, 2023, Myth Makers - Spectrosynthesis III circles around the core notion of “queer mythologies” and delves into modern and contemporary mythologies along with practices of the body by gathering a diverse range of artistic idioms related to LGBTQ+ perspectives from over 60 artists from Asia and its diasporas. The exhibition draws inspiration from artists addressing “queer mythologies,” who highlight either same-sex love and desire or gender fluidity as found in ancient belief systems and traditions in Asia. Myth Makers unfolds through three distinctive chapters and encompasses newly produced artworks, historical works from the 1950s–1990s, and artworks on loan from the collection of the Sunpride Foundation. Curated by Inti Guerrero and Chantal Wong and co-presented with Sunpride Foundation, Myth Makers includes over 100 artworks in all Tai Kwun Contemporary galleries. The exhibition also includes a special publication collaboration with Queer Reads Library.
