About this Event
(Un)Translation As An Alternative Paradise is a small retrospective exhibition presenting a year-long collaboration between Kan Chen and the artists of her Glasgow-based collective Coffee Crit, as part of the As An Alternative Paradise project curated by Kan Chen. The exhibition will be accompanied by a bilingual publication, "An Archive of (Un)translation".
As An Alternative Paradise is a sustainable project that explores (un)translation and the act of translation in contemporary curatorial practice through various formats. It includes an interview 'On the untranslated ground' with Jiaoyang Li, a public artists' talk 'From Letter to Letter' with Jane Skeer and Sherry Xiaoyu Xiong and a series of translation creative writing workshops 'An Archive of (Un)translation'.
(Un)translation offers the opportunity for us to explore the act of translation and reflect on the act of reading. It serves as an alternative paradise to cure the invisible nostalgia, not only for people facing bilingual issues but also for those unvoiced emotions.
