INVOLVED collaborative exhibition at ShanghART H-Space
ShanghART Gallery is pleased to announce INVOLVED, the first exhibition at H-Space with both Chinese and foreign artists, opening October 31 – December 15, 2008.
The exhibition is curated by Philippe Pirotte, Director of Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland. Pirotte choose some of the most exciting contemporary artists from Europe, USA, and Shanghai to put together an extensive show under the elusive title INVOLVED.
As the title indicates, the exhibition evolves around different terms of engagement and involvement be it artistically, sexually, or politically – often focusing on what is left unsaid.
The great diversity of the artists and their projects display concepts of what it means to affect, include, contain, or comprehend in today’s world, with very different aesthetic and intended ends.
Often evasive, the art here approach being INVOLVED on different levels. Indeed, such complexity and contradictory perspectives thwart a one-dimensional and ideological treatment of the subject matter, and keep it open.
New works have been conceived especially for this exhibition by painter extraordinaire Luc Tuymans, together with conceptualist Miroslaw Balka, and by Yutaka Sone, living in Los Angeles, and young London based artist Stefan Bruggemann.
Projects also include paintings and drawings by Zhang Enli and Armen Eloyan, based in Switzerland, film and videos by Norwegian artist Knut Asdam and New York based Corey McCorkle, an out-door sound installation by Pavel Buchler, an archival video project by Shi Yong, a sculpture by Yutaka Sone, a three-dimensional piece by Xu Zhen, and a collaborative limited-edition sound piece by Tuymans & Balka which will also be for sale as a vinyl piece, including drawings by the artists, at the gallery.
The exhibition was realized with great support by White Cube, London, David Zwirner, New York, Maccarone Inc., New York, and Zeno X, Antwerp.
