again and again
whom we love...”

“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.’ 

2-TIMES' highlights: 
· Wang Bing, ‘Mrs. Fang’ (2017)
