Memory, Playfulness, and Stream of Consciousness at Tang Contemporary


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Just as Robert S. Woodworth said, psychology in the present moment can no longer be described as an epiphenomenon of human activity. At a time when we have been tired of post-modernist and philosophical-linguistic explanations of the world’s most complex phenomena, psychical research could become a source of comfort. How does the mind perceive external objects? How can dreams continue to emerge from practices that resist fate and time? What kinds of conscious machinations must memories hide within to become connected? Countless pioneering dreamers over the course of history have made promises of serious laws and airtight logic. Art is one way to resist. With this as a starting point, the exhibition examines the key ideas of memory, playfulness, and stream of consciousness to bring the viewer on a delightful journey along the psychological Milky Way.
