诗学 poetics 시학
Curated by Arthur Channon, Romy Cohen, Sung Hyun, Chaieun Lee, and Hongjin Zhou

April 16 - 30, 2026

MA Curatorial Practice presents “诗学 poetics 시학,” an exhibition curated by students Arthur Channon, Romy Cohen, Sung Hyun, Chaieun Lee, and Hongjin Zhou.

“诗学 poetics 시학” aims to traverse conditions of liminality and disorientation, staging an archipelagic delay of poesis that explores the tangled limits of communication and miscommunication. Recent techno-social habitations, like social media and pocket AIs, subject our perception to iterative exercises of short-term attention and instantaneous recognition. The works in this exhibition posit space for participants to confront what Édouard Glissant termed “transparency violence,” navigating the linguistic, architectural, and ritualistic limits that characterize this moment.

Through a cacophony of poetic engagements, 诗学 poetics 시학 stages a series of communications and miscommunications that underscore the relational frameworks between the artworks, artists, curators, and visitors. In total, each work echoes the others, drawing attention away from chorus notions of immediacy toward an intricate cacophony of the opaque layers between one self and another.
