Embark on a Lunar New Year journey with the group exhibition YEAR OF THE DRAGON [龙年] and Ye Funa’s distinctive presentation, TRANSFORM.ME [易装 · 癖]. Ye Funa’s installation morphs 4A’s gallery space into a cyber grunge salon, offering a glimpse into China’s dynamic subculture. Simultaneously, the YEAR OF THE DRAGON [龙年] exhibition visualises the connection between earthly and celestial realms through contemporary mythology. With this public program immerse yourself in captivating performances by WeiZen Ho, the second gallery activation of Amulet Body, a performance installation that deconstructs and reimagines systems of divination and sacred language.
Experience the transformation of the TRANSFORM.ME space into a lively hub as Lil Angel Gems brings her workshop to the space, offering personalised tooth gems, continuing the trajectory and tradition of the SMART culture, through aesthetic alterations. All of this will be soundtracked with a live performance from AHJU, a Filipino-Korean DJ/producer based in Sydney. AHJU's sound, influenced by house music, 90s rave, and UK dance, has graced the airwaves of Area 3000, Rinse FM, Triple J, and more, with elements of moody dub and psychedelic undertones.
