This is a free, public event to celebrate the opening of AGCC’s newest group exhibition, guest-curated by Ann Shi.
RSVP at themoonopening.eventbrite.com/?aff=artillery
Join us Saturday, March 14th from 2pm – 4pm for the opening of the moon, the womb, and they remember, a group exhibition curated by Ann Shi and featuring work by Flora Kao, Sheng Lor, Victoria May, Sandeep Mukherjee, Kyong Boon Oh, Snezana Petrovic, and Stella Zhang.
the moon, the womb, and they remember considers memory as a distributed condition rather than a fixed record, something that circulates through matter, bodies, labor, and sites across time. The exhibition approaches the womb not as a biological or gendered form but as a spatial logic: a container that holds matter in transition, allowing transformation without resolution. The moon is a regulator of cyclical time, governing tides, illumination, recurrence, and withdrawal. It marks rhythms of appearance and disappearance, the return of time and space, the persistence of life forms, and the conservation of energy.
the moon, the womb, and they remember will be on view in the gallery March 14th through April 26th, 2026 with free public visiting hours Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10am to 5pm.
