Sometime in September 2007, Jan and I realized there were no iconic images for the current anti-war movement. With no draft and limited visual coverage of the ugliness of the war, there’s barely a movement at all. If the traditional method of resistance was that prominent artists pick up the baton and take the lead, […]

 STRIKE! mixes boxing matches and contemporary chamber music, with most of the performances taking place in boxing rings. In combining such seemingly disparate genres, the crowd at STRIKE! is unusually diverse. STRIKE! derives much of its fundamental vitality from everyone getting to learn a little about the each other’s “world.” From this odd coupling, STRIKE! […]

China is undergoing one of the most dramatic transitions in the history of the world. The acceleration of change echoes throughout our society and beyond our borders. Inevitably the changes result in both stimulation and trauma. The past is disappearing and the present is in constant flux. China is becoming more and more dynamic as […]

Comprised of works created in different media, this exhibition introduces a new fictional model called “Abissology,” or the science that studies the abyss, which is the result of the artistic practice of the artists. This model is reflected in the fiction they create, which is concerned with the literary composition of a specific science of […]

Thousands of newspaper cuttings, photos, and quotations including the word “everything” hang on the wall around a black pulsating screen.

This installation is constructed by oppositions—symbols and symptoms, pathos and irony, overflow and the unnoticeable, schematic and idiomatic, and […]

It is likely that ever since early humans have started domestication, animals and plants have been selected, and consequently modified, based on aesthetic […]
