Past Exhibition
Yasmine Anlan Huang & Diyou Yu:
Weighty is the Wood, Tender is the Night
2 November 2024 – 27 April 2025 (extended)
Visit by appointment only
​
​What draws together Yasmine Anlan Huang and Diyou Yu is a deep fascination with time. Yasmine brings to this exhibition her lastest installation series Bad things happen, not only in literature (2024), where vintage, displaced objects re-emerge as a site where multiple layers of the past co-exist. In Yasmine’s single-channel video installation, Her Love is a Bleeding Tank, an eye becomes a theatre. Time, in a little girl’s theatre of life, finds a different kind of configuration. Light creeps into walnut wood in the blink of an eye. Time is folded into the pages of Diyou’s artist book While You Were Absent, Flowers Blossomed, a project that is all about waiting, a process wherein the apparitions of flower petals might even surprise their creator.

Zhang Chi: Extra(Ordinary)
13 April – 18 August 2024
Visit by appointment only
​
With a diverse body of work spanning watercolour landscapes, sculpture and Chinese calligraphy, Zhang Chi’s art practice carries with it a sense of incompleteness and shows us that the most extraordinary details paradoxically emerge in the ordinary. A cloud, a cup of afternoon tea and a street corner: these quotidian, seemingly insignificant fragments of everyday life are elevated into something transcendent, whispering to us.
For this exhibition, calligraphic imagination takes root in the most unexpected corners of Small Gallery: a glass window, a shower screen, a roll of toilet paper, or a light bulb. These experiments put into play the relations between visibility and invisibility, between exhibition and non-exhibition spaces, and between art creation and curation.

Current exhibition
Lisa Chang Lee: Wind Dwellers
15 December 2023– 15 March 2024
Visit by appointment only
Taking inspiration from the wind chimes on the doorstep of Small Gallery, Lisa Chang Lee brings to this site-specific exhibition a set of newly commissioned, hand-painted bronze sculptures of birch tree leaves. Also on display is her 2023 remix of the audiovisual installation Serenade of the Woods. Evoking the 'wind in the trees' effect that fascinates audiences of early cinema, the work explores the ways in which a sense of contingency co-exists with audiovisual media of reproducibility.
