Seattle, WA, USA
Aug 31, 13 - Jun 29, 14

Now one of China's most renowned contemporary artists, Liu Xiaodong grew up in a small industrial town in China before moving to Beijing at age 17 to study art. Three decades passed before he decided to head home to paint this celebrated series Hometown Boy.

Wichita, KS, USA
Aug 31, 13 - Dec 15, 13

We are all increasingly aware of the impact of humans on the complex patterns of nature in the world around us. And while humans have aggressively studied and catalogued the tremendous diversity of life on Earth for decades, we also consume this planet in countless ways that severely threaten nature itself. Harnessing technology and inspired by nature’s amazing design concepts, this exhibition's innovative, eye-capturing art helps visitors understand and appreciate the life-or-death interdependence between Earth’s 10 to 20 million species--including humans--and the quality of the environment we share. read more...

at Utah Museum of Fine Arts, University of Utah
Salt Lake City, UT, USA
Aug 30, 13 - Nov 10, 13

Martha Wilson's career, spanning forty years, encapsulates the contestations inherent in feminist and socially engaged practices.

The complex nature of her work encompasses her activities as an artist, creating conceptually-based performances, videos, and photo-text compositions since the early 1970s; her position as the founder and director of the non-profit space Franklin Furnace; and her collaboration with other women to form the group, DISBAND among many other things. read more...

Sam Falls
at Galerie Eva Presenhuber
Zürich, Switzerland
Aug 31, 13 - Oct 19, 13

Galerie Eva Presenhuber is delighted to announce the first solo exhibition of Los Angeles-based artist Sam Falls (b. 1984).  Sam Falls has long pursued a particular interest in the influence of natural phenomenon such as light, rain or time and wind may have on his abstract paintings and sculptures. The idea of a sublime deterioration, a controlled and expected change on materials ranging from steel to cloth and others, creates a work that forces the viewer to consider not only the final image of it, but most importantly the process of its change. read more...

at Hakgojae Gallery
Seoul, South Korea
Aug 28, 13 - Oct 06, 13

Hakgojae Gallery is delighted to present Jin Meyerson’s solo exhibition opening on 28 August and runs until 6 October. Meyerson’s work draws on the legacies of abstraction by reworking images gained from the media, including images from magazines, television and internet- which he distorts, recolors, stretches, shrinks, and translates into the language of painting. Meyerson used to base in Brooklyn, Paris and Seoul, and he now lives and works in Hong Kong, where he completed the works that are reinterpretations of his surroundings of his studio, and in addition to that- crowd, nature and machines are distorted and covered with delicate colors. read more...
