Meditations in
an Emergency
 
@ UCCA 
— 

In times of crisis, 
we must all decide 
again and again
whom we love...
” 

Curators:

“Meditations in
an Emergency”: 
Takes its title from
an anthology of
poetry by Frank O’Hara
(1926-1966) — looking
to art as a source of
solace, reflection,
and solidarity.

Juxtaposing emerging 
artists with more 
established figures from 
China & abroad, the 
exhibition marks an 
adjustment to new 
realities, coming 
together in a world 
demarcated by new 
logistical restrictions.
