Showcasing thirty-two masterpieces and archival materials of Lalan’s cross-disciplinary attempts, Extended Figure: The Art and Inspiration of Lalan traces the artist’s transformative moments, and experimentation and introspection through the bodily focused art-making practice.

To deepen audiences’ understanding of Lalan’s artistic practice, Asia Society Hong Kong Center will present a two-day symposium and invite scholars, artists, curators and art historians to review her artistic achievements from various aspects.

《延綿之軀：謝景蘭藝術展》展示謝景蘭三十二幅珍貴作品及跨界藝術創作的文獻資料，追溯藝術家創作的轉化歷程，力求在純粹的藝術實踐中探索和內省。

為加深觀眾對謝景蘭藝術創作的認識，亞洲協會香港中心將舉行為期兩天的研討會，並邀請學者、藝術家、策展人和藝術史學家以不同角度探討論謝景蘭的藝術人生。

Synaesthesia in Art and Lalan | 藝術通感與謝景蘭

In 1971, Lalan developed an art related to “synesthesia”, which integrated not only visual art but also other forms of sensory art into her painting, music, and dance performance. Lalan’s paintings facilitate the viewer to utilize various senses other than the visual one. This symposium will explore Lalan’s work from the perspective of synesthesia in art, followed by a panel discussion on sensory art in three disciplines: Dance, Music, and Painting.

1971年，謝景蘭（Lalan）發展一種名為“通感藝術”的藝術形態。她將各種感官的感知，融入繪畫、表演之中；讓觀眾利用各種感官去感受她的創作。這次研討會將從藝術通感的角度探討謝景蘭的作品，以及在三個藝術的領域：舞蹈、音樂和繪畫，進行感官藝術的討論。
