Kiang Malingue is pleased to present “Spa & Beauty”, an exhibition by Geumhyung Jeong. The exhibition that runs from 7th through 14th December coincides with two performances by the artist, featuring humanised objects, props, videos and a number of sundries used in daily routines.

Jeong’s body of work ranges from performance, dance, choreography, theatre, video and installation. Since the beginning of her career, she has been investigating the relationship between the human body, the objects that are immediately associated with it, and its artificial counterparts through productions that combine languages and techniques from the fields of contemporary dance, puppet theatre, self-taught programming, and the visual arts. In the course of the physical interaction between her body and the objects, it becomes ambiguous who controls whom, blurring the line between inanimate and animate, the inauthentic and the genuine.

The two scheduled performances on the 7th and 14th of December are effectively a series of demonstrations, in which the artist, treating her body as a medium par excellence, activates the modern artefacts by using them in particular, even idiosyncratic ways, shedding light on the sprays, bottles, bathtubs, and the pleasure of consuming and touching.

Opening: Sat, 7 Dec, 4 – 6 PM

Performance: 7 Dec, 4 PM, 14 Dec, 4 PM

Gallery address: 13/F, Blue Box Factory Building, 25 Hing Wo Street, Aberdeen

‘In artists, status anxiety’, solo project exhibition artist-curated by Kaio Wu Hiu Nam @kaio__w . Wu examines her longstanding unequal relationship with art through repairing ready-made objects, furniture, books and art writing. Wu rethinks the agenda behind contemporary art and its undeniable, secular relationship with elitism. 

Wu takes a step back from the mainstream and confesses her Status Anxiety, a shared emotion in the art world, and the power imbalance between art and the artist it reveals. Wu believes artists often need to ‘Self- Scrutinise’ to fit a certain ‘persona’, and contemporary art is ‘Purposed’. By exposing the dilemma between ideology/meaning, Wu breaks through the language game related to art and hidden rules which, ironically, are set by the artists themselves. In this exhibition, Wu adopts methods like self-satire and invites all artists to delve into this discussion of elitism and Status Anxiety.

13A New Street Art Gallery proudly presents the solo exhibition“ Cosmic Construct ” Solo Exhibition By VALASARA  from 29th September - 15th October , showcasing over 15 pieces of artwork. Culture and art have always been closely intertwined, especially traditional culture acting as fuel for art. 13A New Street Art Gallery brings us a cultural extravaganza from Bali, Indonesia, allowing us to explore the local traditional culture through art. It serves as a reminder of the importance of holding onto our cultural roots and collective identity amidst rapid societal development. The works of Valasara, an artist from Bali, Indonesia, are divided into two series: "ALIENATED COSMIC SERIES" and "HOLY JOURNEY SERIES" Approaching from the perspective of a native Balinese, Valasara delves into multiple layers to understand the local culture.

Valasara's Alienated Cosmic series delves into Balinese society and how it's affected when its essential element is disconnected. What happens to our identity when we're separated from our traditions and the Balinese crowd? Valasara zooms in on the unique individuals of Bali, borrowing inspiration from Batuan paintings that showcase regular folks going about their everyday lives. But in Valasara's interpretation, these figures transform into something peculiar and intriguing. Stripped of their Balinese identity, they become even more expressive, showing their humanity beyond the ‘exotic’ image associated with Bali. This series challenges how we see things and forces us to think about the consequences of breaking away from tradition. Can we still find our voice when we're distanced from our cultural roots? Valasara's exploration of identity investigates what it truly means to be human. By navigating the intricate relationship between tradition and individuality, the Alienated Cosmic series uncovers different aspects of our existence. This series raises a conversation that goes beyond borders and cultures, reminding us of the deep connections that tie us together as humans. It reminds us of how important our cultural heritage is in shaping our lives and in turn, how our collective identity shaped our society.

Galerie Koo is delighted to announce its exciting group exhibition “Sculpting Dreams” by Hong Kong artists Ray Wong, Swiss artist Sabeth Holland and Taiwanese artists Kuo Shu-Fan & Liu Yu-Chi.

Sculpture is an art that challenges intelligence, physical ability, perseverance, and science through the convergence and expansion of its structure, the strength and beauty of its form, and the stability and rigidity of its volume. Artists create new worlds through their vision, constructing the existence of nothingness and reality in their creations. In this exhibition, we present four sculptors who bring us their imagination and discussion on nature, virtual reality, human nature and society.

Opening Reception: 23rd September 2023 (Saturday), 3-6 pm

Hanart TZ Gallery is honoured to announce the opening of “ENTANGLED ENERGIES”, a solo exhibition of works by eminent calligraphy master Wang Dongling, on Saturday, 23 September 2023.

The exhibition features a range of Wang Dongling’s latest works, including a monumental “Entangled Script”, 2 Tea Poems by Su Shi, measuring 5 meters long. “Entangled Script” is the culmination of Wang Dongling’s lifelong pursuit of an art that is both universal and Chinese, forward-looking, and firmly grounded in the past.

 Another highlight of the exhibition is a set of calligraphies written on transparent coloured acrylic. Through interaction with the lighting of the space, the rhythm and momentum of the calligraphy are transformed into an encompassing realm of aesthetics, allowing the audience to experience the tension inherent in the "Entangled" calligraphy as an impact in public space.

 In collaboration with media artist Jeffrey Shaw, the exhibition includes a special feature of two video installations. The videos capture Wang Dongling’s writing process, and translate the dance of the writing brush into a ritual performance.

Artist’s reception:    23 September 2023 (Saturday), 2–6 pm

Kiang Malingue is pleased to present at its Tin Wan gallery space Truong Cong Tung’s exhibition 2000 years…Something on coming – Something on going, the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, coinciding with the artist’s exhibition at Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (June 10–September 10, 2023). Introducing new iterations of an ongoing series of sculptures and a central video project debuted a decade ago, Journey of a Piece of Soil, Truong revisits crucial motifs, examining the temporal aspect of materialised entities and movements.

For more than a decade, Truong as both an independent artist and a member of the Art Labor collective is recognised for his profound interest in history, landscape and materiality. Emphasising the earthen quality of his materials, the meticulously sculpted artworks are delicate yet solid relics, tracing the passage through which the past and the future are connected. Regarding Truong’s art in relation to the confrontation between “territory of sacred places and spirits…and another set of beliefs based on the rhetoric of modernity and prosperity, built by the State and by private development companies,” Caroline Ha Thuc, in the curatorial statement of the 2018 exhibition Constructing Mythologies: “Truong’s installation and sculptures embody this cultural confrontation, combining hybrid found objects made of newly sacralised elements and natural parts, mingling local cosmologies with imposed technologies. His work is deeply informed by the traditional values of his native region of the Central Highlands in Vietnam.” The total installation 2000 years…Something on coming – Something on going consists of four individual sculptures first made appearance in the 2018 exhibition: Terra; From the primitive to the civilized; From a land long lost to a land dwindling; and Forming deforming ongoing.
