Tishan Hsu: screen-skins

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Empty Gallery is pleased to present screen-skins, New York-based artist Tishan Hsu’s second solo exhibition with the gallery.

Since the 1980s, Hsu’s practice has investigated the complex manner in which information technology has altered the perceptual, affective, and political contours of our embodied experience. Continually refining his practice to keep pace with these emergent phenomena, Hu works between painting and sculpture, employing methods such as UV printing, casting, and digital photo manipulation to create objects which are poised at the limit between the physical and the virtual.

Screen-skins extends a mode of practice first articulated in delete and subsequently refined in presentations at the 59th Venice Biennale and Miguel Abreu Gallery, broadening Hsu’s scope of inquiry to encompass the expanded sphere of biopolitics and the digital police state.
