Gallery 51 at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) will present The Garden of Memory, a gallery installation and printmaking works by Junli Song. The exhibition opens with a public reception. Admission is free and open to the public. In The Garden of Memory, artist Junli Song invites viewers to enter her creative universe, the In-Between Cosmos, with an immersive installation created directly on the walls of the space using hand-cut papers, prints, ceramics, and other materials. This exhibition grows out of the cyclical nature of storytelling within her practice: Song not only makes in response to stories, but also invents myths to interpret what she creates. The narrative behind The Garden of Memory is inspired by her last installation, Hagoromo (University of Iowa, 2024), which explored a spirit realm populated by golden clouds and celestial beings. Who are these beings and what happens to souls when they die? This installation explores the story that emerged from wondering and dreaming these questions into being.
