IMPRESSIONS

"IMPRESSION – Exhibition for Printmaking" is a juried national group exhibition that first took place in 2008 and has been held every two years since 2013.  Now a well-established tradition, the biennial explores current trends in Swiss printmaking and shows both experimental works that push the boundaries of printmaking techniques and pieces created using classical methods.

Endless Dream Co.

2023, HD  CGI animation, stereo

"Endless Dream Co.,”  inspired by the writings of  J. G. Ballard, merges personal experiences with science and art history. The setting is my quarantine room during the pandemic, The motif of ice, a nod to Kurt Vonnegut's "Ice-nine," new forms of amorphous ice, ice moons, and ice cubes on Allen Street, shapes the narrative.

Mein Garten | My Garden

“The curatorial concept aims to create a dialogue between works that either focus on the garden (real or metaphorical), were created in a garden, or remind us of plants, objects, or situations found in gardens. It envisions a garden in a broad sense, including a "selection of blossoms," since gardens are thoroughly curated spaces.”

INDOCAM is an experimental video about the artist’s travels from the US to India. Secretly shot with a cheap Chinese camera watch, it’s an attempt to capture the unforeseen reality unaltered by the apparent presence of a lens. The viewers travel along like stowaways: visa office, subway, airport, immigration, supermarket, civic reception, art opening, religious ritual, protest vigil. Experimental in genre, composited frame by frame from shaky footage and an erratic codec, INDOCAM looks at the fortuitous crisscross of the artist’s itinerary with other private lives and public events, some of which would shape the politics of India to this day.
