There’re not many prominent Chinese multimedia artists but Wang Gongxin is a master at it. Showcasing Wang’s early creations and new site specific installations, this exhibition sees Wang incorporate suspended or embedded light bulbs, metal containers, ink and other fluids to create kinetic installations that played with light, movement and the environment.
Influenced by his experience of geographical and cultural dislocation from his hometown of Beijing to New York, these works demonstrate a sensitivity to material textures and explores how vernacular forms invoke cultural and geographical localities.
