Yang Guangnan
I came to realize that I see video as a flexible concept of sculpture. Many of my short video pieces are not sufficient to be shown by themselves, but once they form a bond with specific spaces, a stereoscopic object is born out of it.
—Yang Guangnan
Oscillating between the physical and the immaterial, Yang’s practice springs from the spatial mind of a sculptor and operates through a multiplicity of mediums of installation, performance, machine kinetics and video. Her art works crop, isolate moments of present experience, enlarge and graft them onto new environments to form mismatched consciousness. Though often Brutalist in appearance, her works elicit a peculiar sentimental bond to viewing.
The exhibition will be open to public from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11:00-17:00. Visitors may scan the QRcode to obtain the lock combination of the day.
