What’s more mystifying and seductive than encountering an other that feels familiar?
Pace is pleased to present Algorithms of Longing, a group exhibition at its Hong Kong gallery charting complex ideas, desires, and resonances in the Asian diaspora, situated in conversation with works that speak to post-Socialist and post-human longings. On view from January 14 to February 27, 2025, this focused presentation, organized by Pace’s Curatorial Director Xin Wang with support from the gallery’s President of Greater China Evelyn Lin, will bring together works by Amanda Ba, Ching Ho Cheng, Oscar yi Hou, Yifan Jiang, Lawrence Lek, Jarod Lew, Paulina Olowska, and Stipan Tadić.
Featuring seven artists outside Pace’s program, this exhibition reflects the gallery’s collaborative ethos, as well as its ongoing efforts to highlight new voices in its exhibitions around the world.
Activating the unique history and cosmopolitan culture of Hong Kong, Algorithms of Longing speaks to the collective familiarity of diasporic experiences and the distinct cosmos of experience and imagination embedded in each artist’s practice. In her curatorial statement, Wang explains that she aims to bring together “a robust and refreshing grouping of artists whose curiosity towards certain aspects of otherness—be it cultural, technological, post-Socialist or post-Human—expand the possibilities of knowledge for both self and the world. To revisit time as place and fantasy as home-coming.”
The exhibition will be accompanied by a curated selection of publications—available to read in the gallery—that illuminates its rich contexts.
