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.”
Cassie Packard recently profiled Jes Fan in the September 2023 issue of Artforum: In 2018, Jes Fan, then in residence at Brooklyn arts nonprofit Recess, approached a local for-hire synthetic-biology lab with an unusual request. The artist, whose conceptually and materially complex work often showcases his facility with glassblowing—which he sharpened while studying at the Rhode Island School of Design—commissioned the laboratory to synthesize eumelanin for use as a sculptural material.
Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork has been awarded a 2023 Joan Mitchell Fellowship. Every year, the Joan Mitchell Fellowship awards fifteen artists working in the fields of painting and sculpture with a significant financial support, granted over five years.
On view August 18th through December 17, 2023 at ICA Philadelphia: Moveables brings together the work of five artists—Jes Fan, Nikita Gale, Hannah Levy, Ken Lum, and Oren Pinhassi—who are rethinking functional design and its intimate relationship to the human body. Whether reminiscent of a living room, lighting rig, toothbrush holder, or chandelier, these artworks invite us to imagine new possibilities for the objects that shape our daily lives, including who they are made for and how they might be used.
Tishan Hsu is participating in the fourth edition of the Future of Today Biennial at the Today Art Museum in Beijing. To Your Eternity, the fourth installment of the Today Art Museum’s art and technology-themed biennial, zooms ever slightly away from an obsession with the now and the next, but revels in unlikely, luminous juxtapositions across geography and time. It will be on view from July 23 through October 15, 2023.
And the Moon Be Still as Bright recently opened at Harper’s Gallery New York in collaboration with Civil Art and The Here and There Co. The exhibition will run through August 18, featuring works by Joeun Kim Aatchim, Vincent Cy Chen, Hyegyeong Choi, Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork, Alexa Kumiko Hatanaka, Mimi Jung, Ho Jae Kim, Antonia Kuo, Ajay Kurian, Heidi Lau, Jennie Jieun Lee, Cole Lu, Erica Mao, Suchitra Mattai, Jacqueline Qiu, Pauline Shaw, Kyungmi Shin, Astra Huimeng Wang, Ye Qin Zhu.
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.
Tishan Hsu appears on the cover of Numéro China Summer 2023 issue, featuring an interview with Venus Lau.
Empty Gallery 懷著興奮的心情宣布，我們將參與於今年5月19-23日假香港灣仔會議展覽中心舉行的香港巴塞爾藝術展，為大家帶來徐梯善、增鹽太朗、Xper. Xr.和Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork以及洪子健的多組作品。結合我們兩位當代藝術家和歷史前衛一員的徐梯善，這次展示的作品，兼具政治視野和實驗實踐，模糊媒介之間的界線。
徐梯善多幅塑膠彩絲印亞麻布本作品包括《Thumb-Eye-Extended 1.0 》，藝術家回到他1980年代未期的創作實驗，嘗試以絲網印刷作為一種複製的方式，模擬早期螢幕科技的點矩陣美學。這些標誌性的作品預告了徐梯善近年來的關注，在創作中逐漸包裹及扭曲人類和科技的界線。再者，這次展示亦包括了徐梯善早期的紙本作品，詳細展現了他及後用於藝術創作中美學策略 的發展概念過程 。
同場展出的亦有洪子健的作品《我的敵人的敵人是我的朋友》，乃是一齣科幻電影的一系列想像分鏡圖， 電影圍繞中國和美國，及其他參與台海軍事競賽的國家。洪子健的創作由研究出發， 落墨於認識論與社政問題的交疊層面，質問權力操縱知識的行為。洪子健對種裔民族權力能動性（在美國及海外）的尖銳調查，在這中西關係愈趨緊張並預告一個未知未來的時刻， 可說別具前瞻性。
而增鹽太朗展示的攝影作品選自他近期於畫廊的展覽《聽聞說》。探源日本美學及剛陽之氣的概念，這些抽象特寫照像裡的是散發著神秘味道的味噌湯，挑起觀者想像日常生活隱藏的陌生感。增鹽透過反轉日本人熟悉的事物，暗示民族身份的延展性。
Empty Gallery 是一個四千五百平方呎的黑盒畫廊空間，位於香港仔海畔的田灣。畫廊由鄭成然創辦，展出包括成名及新晉藝術家的作品，並同步進行一系從先鋒多媒體委約計劃、表演及音樂項目。Empty Gallery 著重具時間性、短生及非以物為本的藝術實踐，致力推動各文化、地理和特定媒介間的跨界對話，並同時作為一個區域樞紐以躍活東亞藝術圈。
