Inspired by the history of Qiu Jin’s multiple burials as well as the struggles by different groups and individuals to claim the symbolic meaning and resting place of her body, we invite you to join us at this special event where Qiu’s multiple legacies will be incinerated through Chinese practices of ancestral mourning.

The event happens during Art Basel’s South Island Art Brunch from 10am to 2pm. You can start with a visit to Spring Workshop, then take our latest neighbourhood map in order to find other nearby galleries and eateries. For info on South Island Cultural District (SICD), click www.sicd.com.hk

Duilian is a film installation that is part of a decade-long research project by visual artist and filmmaker Wu Tsang. The multi-media exhibition centers on Duilian, a newly-commissioned experimental film that interprets the life and writings of the famous Chinese revolutionary Qiu Jin (秋瑾1875-1907) through visual and martial arts. The work is a culmination of Wu Tsang‘s two three-month residencies at Spring Workshop last year.

Duilian is commissioned and produced by Spring Workshop, with co-commissioners Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève for BIM 2016, Arthub Asia, and 9th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, with support from Nottingham Contemporary, the Fonds d’Art Contemporain de la Ville et du Canton de Genève and In Between Art Film.
