2023-09-01	Tishan Hsu at Galerie Max Mayer
	On view from September 1 through 21 October, screen-skins-2 at Galerie Max Mayer, Dusseldorf: “Tishan Hsu’s practice conveys an embodied technology, centered on the cognitive and physical effects of transformative technologies on our lives. To address these issues, Hsu consciously chooses to use traditional media, such as painting and sculpture, which evoke a feeling of ‘slowness’ that resonates with the viewer’s direct physical experience in perceiving the works. The works create a sense of illusion of body and screen, while at the same time becoming objects in their own right. It is in this paradoxical situation that a hybrid experience of two and three-dimensional spaces begins to take shape. Often, Hsu’s works seem to float, at times hovering over the floor, detaching from the walls or mounting on wheels. Their curved corners, already introduced in the 80s, feel like precursors to the app icons on our smartphones.” 更多…

2023-07-11	Henry Shum in Tales of Soil and Concrete, Pippy Houldsworth Gallery
	Tales of Soil and Concrete is a new exhibition opening at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery London from July 13th to August 12th, 2023. Participating artists include Anselm Kiefer, Arturo Kameya, Alison Saar, Jacob Littlejohn, Yun-Fei Ji, Brett Goodroad, Henry Shum, Sophia Loeb and Allison Janae Hamilton. Tales of Soil and Concrete traces various artistic approaches to myth and mythmaking in rural and urban contexts, examining how these environments affect the origin and propagation of such narratives. With an emphasis on cyclical systems – growth and harvest, construction and destruction, appearance and disappearance – the exhibition interrogates how productive processes give way to memory and nostalgia for that which is lost, leaving scarred landscapes, physical and psychological, which we make sense of through narrative, representation, and ritual. 更多…
