SOUTH SOUTH Project ‘I draw, therefore I think’

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Hanart TZ Gallery will be participating in SOUTH SOUTH’s inaugural Curatorial Project ‘I draw, therefore I think’, which will kick off on 11 September at 2PM GMT, presenting the works by 60 artists across 29 countries from 28 galleries in their reflections on the relationship between drawing, the production of ideas and the evolutionary aspects of existence.

This drawing project is prompted by Charles Darwin’s 1837 sketch ‘Tree of Life’ in which he scribbled down a framework for his speculations about evolution in one of his first “transmutation notebook”. This intuitive drawing of an evolutionary tree is headlined by the words ‘I think’ and is a precursor to Darwin’s radical theory of evolution, common descent, differential survival and natural selection.

The project will branch out into the other aspects, including a series of conversations with artists and curators and interactive events on the Miro board.

One exhibition. Two ways to view

ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER

Ho Sin Tung (b. 1986)
Ho imagines and participates in the world through researching it. She regards research as a method to lost oneself steadily. Navigating through the texts and materials, Ho encounters punctum that haunts her. Those could not be named thus transformed into works. This is a way to live with it. Ho has a penfriend who describes her as this: "Ho Sin Tung regards the dead as the living. Objects, events, knowledge gain the status of the living in her world. They have their own face and so dignified that they cannot be categorized.” Ho was born in Hong Kong, and currently living and working there.
