Des hôtes: a foreigner, a human, an unexpected visitor with Milena Bonilla, Kasper Bosmans, Raimundas Malašauskas, Toshie Takeuchi, Luisa Ungar, Trevor Yeung, and Yu Honglei Curated by Christina Li The fall program at Spring draws attention to the roles of host and guest. Over the course of three months, the exhibition gradually takes shape through an ongoing event program, artist-devised tours, chocolate readings, post-hypnosis sessions and zoological lectures, where artworks function as prompts for—or evidence of—these gatherings. Traversing the various circumstances where the host-guest status quo is stretched and ruptured, Des hôtes creates a web of relations that magnifies the realities of how we receive and relate to one another. |

Poetry and wine were central to the relationship of Chinese revolutionary, feminist and poet Qiu Jin (秋瑾 1875–1907) and her intimate friend, the calligrapher Wu Zhiying (吳芝瑛, 1867-1936). Artist-in-residence Wu Tsang’s current project at Spring involves researching and interpreting their lives and writings. To enjoy the endeavor, Tsang invites interested participants to join her for a night of libations, appreciation, translations, and mistranslations of Qiu Jin and Wu Zhiying’s poetry. * Limited capacity; please RSVP at rsvp@springworkshop.org. |

Berlin-based collective Slavs and Tatars will present a lecture-performance derived from Molla Nasreddin, the significant Azerbaijani satirical weekly ‘that would’ve, could’ve, should’ve’—a significant 20th century Muslim periodical. Slavs and Tatars address the idea of the anti-modern, self-censorship, and modernity in the Caucasus. Molla Nasreddin: Embrace Your Antithesis has been presented at the Serpentine Gallery, London; Kunstverein Münich; Swiss Institute, New York; UCLA, and New York University, Abu Dhabi’s The Institute, among others. During their research residency with Asia Art Archive, they will be investigating the translation of Islam into China and Confucianism, and exhibiting their own reference books alongside art and ephemera for the Free Parking: Art Libraries from Elsewhere (2–28 Nov 2015) program series in the AAA Library. *Register now with AAA at:

Inspired by the story of Lonesome George, who was the last known specimen of a subspecies of Pinta Island tortoise, Trevor Yeung will embark on a search for other Lonesome Georges out in the wild, resulting in an evening of tales that Yeung will present in collaboration with a storyteller.
