Spring welcomes artist Aslı Çavuşoğlu to a residency at Spring in November and December 2013. During her residency, the artist will be mainly focusing on research, but will be giving one 45-minute talk entitled ’The Fragments that Resist the Story’ on Thursday, December 12, 2013 at 12pm at Asia Art Archive’s A Space. There she will discuss the art of backward construction in her practice with a focus on chronicling the history of a murder, of art or of a nation. Please join us for this talk, which is part of an ongoing series of conversations held at AAA over a light lunch with artists visiting Hong Kong.

Aslı Çavuşoğlu (b. 1982, Istanbul) is an artist and writer whose projects examine the way in which cultural and historical facts are transformed, represented, and interpreted by individuals.
