A Part of Me, Apart from Me presents selected works from Park’s long-term project, the Aejang Project, which began with his father’s oldest memory: accompanying the artist’s grandfather to bury his one-year-old sister. Her body was buried in the form of “aejang,” a Korean practice intended to forget the child, avoid bad luck, and ease its passage into the next life. The exhibition explores dimensions of melancholia as an ontological inquiry into belonging and memory.

A dervish embraces death before death, sheds selfhood, and bows to the mystic's immortality. A freedom fighter, too, dies before death. Relinquishing the ego to be subsumed by the vast and nebulous unity of resistance, forsaking personal desire to dedicate the soul entirely to humanity. They surrender to the collective and its symbols, weaving their souls into the existence of all peoples, and patiently reflecting the moral sovereignty of the soul.

Drawing on early encounters with Western culture, Dong uses the song “Lemon Tree”, by Fool’s Garden, as a symbolic and aspirational fantasy of Western life: bright, carefree, filled with promise. For Dong, Western fantasies were shaped through cultural exports like music, media, and fashion, each offering an idealized, unattainable version of the West. Bittersweet childhood memoirs are transformed in this exhibition into acts of resistance and empowerment.

The 8th edition of Slut Island Festival is here. In times of unending grief and peril, we must resist despair. Art and music divorced from the commercial sphere is a vehicle for messaging that begs to be heard and with the power to invigorate us. We will congregate with expanded lenses, confirmed suspicions and new perspectives, undoubtedly (re)shaped and shattered by ongoing tyranny abroad and at home.

Works examining the unobstructed passage of light, works studying how looking through an object changes both the viewer and what is perceived, works with an aching desire to reveal personal secrets (a misguided longing for transparency?) are all welcome.

Exploring Landbeing is a 3-day series of improvisations in conversation with Leeay Aikawa, Kristi Chen, and Akash Inbakumar's collective exhibition Landbeing. Each day will feature a different trio of improvisers, brought together exceptionally for these performances, responding to the sculptural work and weaving their creative practices together.

Landbeing plays with interpretations of living on the land, whether as residents or visitors, and various ways of adapting to the environment. Land is innately embedded in being and in the basic elements that create a shared life force that runs through all things. Working with materials and techniques from the lands they arrive at and those they reach towards, these three artists seek to orient themselves towards Landbeing.

In collaboration with articule and Concordia University's Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling, Super Boat People is presenting the works of a cohort of ten participants of Cambodian, Vietnamese and Laotian origin reappropriating their family past through oral history and art.

For this 9th edition of Montreal Monochrome, articule invites individual artists and collectives to consider the art and act of undoing. What is receptive, or unreceptive, to being undone: what materials, objects, structures, or systems? How can we undo—untangle, unsettle—systems of oppression or cultural expectations? In the wake of undoing, what remains to be utilized?

Transit, corporality: what are the limits? How do we transit the world, how do we move through places and spaces, what interacts from our own bodies, and how far?
