In The Garden of Memory, artist Junli Song invites viewers to enter into the In-Between Cosmos with an immersive installation. What happens to souls when they die? This site-specific installation explores one of her personal mythologies that arose from wondering and dreaming this question into being. The exhibition will be accompanied by a performance that will bring this narrative to life within the space during the first Friday in March.
