Speculative Place is currently dead and will re-emerge soon as an apparitional artist-run project space in printed form and on the web, established originally on Lamma Island in Hong Kong. Recently unmoored, we operate remotely with aims to animate a network of interlocutors, cross time zone screenings and integrated workshops among our geographically-dispersed community of artists, filmmakers and writers. Our interests center on interrogating the boundaries of area studies and helping realize daring new works, and supporting rest and play. Stay tuned.
