Mel O'Callaghan's work is included in a group exhibition at the Busan Museum of art in South Korea.
In the shifting topographies of contemporary media art, 'Moving On Asia' offers an incisive reflection on the state of the moving image in the Asia-Pacific region. Brought forth through collaboration with 21 curators and 27 artists from 15 countries, this exhibition—and the constellation of screenings, forums, and discursive encounters that accompany it—seeks not merely to present, but to probe, the evolving vocabularies of time-based practice in a technologically mediated world. Here, the familiar distinctions between document and fiction, gesture and code, are quietly, but purposefully, undone. What emerges is not a uniform vision of Asia, but a constellation of aesthetic strategies that attend to the specificities of context while remaining attuned to shared urgencies: the violence of historical erasure, the precarity of community, the resilience of embodied expression.
Open 14 June - 12 October, 2025
