Shifting light shapes ecological, cultural, and temporal rhythms, while cultural spaces like clubs and folk rituals face preservation challenges amid social and environmental upheaval.
Black Void presents its first solo exhibition, The Sky, Oscillating, at the historic Bund·City Hall as part of the 24th China Shanghai International Arts Festival. The interdisciplinary collective, founded and directed by Yixuan Cai, with partner Yuhan Xiao and core member Yun Hong, brings together practitioners from digital media, architecture, data science, and music. The exhibition gathers more than ten works developed across three years of research, using light, atmospheric data, and spatial installation to examine the relationship between natural systems and human-made infrastructures.
The Light That Sees, Velliquette's solo exhibition of 21 new works at Duane Reed Gallery, delves into themes of consciousness and light, both in the physical sense that light enables us to see but also in the way that illumination is itself a metaphor for awareness-and enlightenment. Through monochromatic reliefs, he highlights perception, material, and the human relationship with nature.
