        Henry Shum in Fifteen Painters at Andrew Kreps Gallery

        We are pleased to share that two new works by Henry Shum, Sol and Memory Fallacy, are on view in Fifteen Painters at Andrew Kreps Gallery’s 22 Cortlandt Alley location from April 2 – May 8. Occupying both floors of the gallery, the exhibition brings together fifteen artists born after 1980, who each take distinct and diverse approaches to the medium of painting. From those that use painting for its immediacy to those who utilize it for project-based investigations, the exhibition does not aim to identify a specific theme or trend. Instead, it demonstrates the continued mutability of painting as a practice, and its malleable nature that extends beyond its physical application. The exhibition features works by Han Bing, Gabriella Boyd, Guglielmo Castelli, Bendt Eyckermans, Daisuke Fukunaga, Lewis Hammond, Behrang Karimi, Dominique Knowles, Dana Lok, Megan Marrin, Leslie Martinez, Matt Morris, Sophie Reinhold, Henry Shum, Kate Spencer Stewart.

        Tishan Hsu in the 13th Gwangju Biennale

        The 13th Gwangju Biennale opens today (April 1), and will run through May 9, 2021.

        Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning sets out to examine the spectrum of the extended mind through artistic and theoretical means. Directed by Defne Ayas and Natasha Ginwala, the 13th Gwangju Biennale (1 April–9 May, 2021) will feature a dynamic program encompassing an exhibition, a performance program, an online publishing platform and publications, and a series of public forums bringing together artists, theoretical scientists, and systems thinkers. The Biennale argues for the primacy of plurality, positing that points of origin and influence ought to be accessed not only through the dominant technological systems and machinic vocabularies traceable to the West but also relate to heterodox ancestries.

        Tishan Hsu is one of the 70+ artists featured in the exhibition. Outside the installation in Gwangju, visitors can also support the exhibition with their robust online programming.

        Thinking Through the “Malleable Body”: Tuesday, March 23, 6:30–8:00 PM EDT

Tishan Tsu and Jes Fan, artists included in The Body Electric, discuss their approaches to the challenge of our “malleable body” in their creative practice and work. Organized by the Miami Dade College of Art and Design. Click below to watch the recording of the event.

        Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork in A SPIRIT OF DISRUPTION at SFAI
        On view from March 19 through July 3, 2021, A Spirit of Disruption is curated by Margaret Tedesco and Leila Weefur at the Walter and McBean Galleries and Diego Rivera Gallery at The San Francisco Art Institute.

        SFAI 150 | A Spirit of Disruption showcases a selection of works and archival materials that celebrate the ethos and expansive ecosystem of the San Francisco Art Institute. As the title suggests, the exhibition disrupts the bias present in the history of many arts institutions across the Bay Area, and the proclivity to preserve and celebrate an art world that has been predominantly white and male. With careful examination of this history and a breadth of perspectives, the exhibition illuminates the distinct and diverse voices of SFAI which includes alumni, faculty, staff, and the community who have made an enormous contribution to its legendary history. This 150th anniversary marks a beginning for yet another era at SFAI, one that aspires to deepen and grow a more inclusive support for the kind of work that continues to disrupt.

        A Spirit of Disruption embraces time; past, present, and future.

        Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork’s artwork Noise Blanket No. 7 is on view in the exhibition.

        REI HAYAMA in South South OVR

        For the inaugural South South OVR, Empty Gallery presents a solo presentation of the early films of Yokahama-based artist Rei Hayama. Hayama’s films expand our field of vision to include alternative ways of living and seeing, especially in relation to non-human species. This online presentation explores the thematic and formal concerns underpinning her practice over the past decade: humanity’s relationship with the natural world, the instability and mutability of vision, and the influence of early and structuralist-materialist cinema. Spanning 2009 through 2015, these are the visions of a filmmaker solidifying her commitment to “a humble cinema’” that articulates a non-human gaze to uncover the strangeness of being human.
