Capsule Shanghai is pleased to present Alice Wang's second solo exhibition with the gallery of new sculptures, photographs, and the second installment of the infinite film series Pyramids and Parabolas, which the artist began working on since 2017.
An accompanying exhibition catalog published by Atelier Éditions, featuring newly commissioned essays by Billy Tang and Christina Catherine Martinez will be released.
Alice Wang
Working with the mantra that the Earth is plummeting towards the Sun while just missing it, Wang combines scientific, technological, mythical, and spiritual perspectives to see how matter can be understood to embody existential qualities. Wang chooses materials that convey the sentient universe through sensual, tactile, and metaphoric means, and imagines how the nature of reality can be expressed in the language of sculpture and film.
Established in late 2016 by Italian gallerist and long-time influential figure of the Shanghai art scene Enrico Polato, Capsule Shanghai is a self-described ‘gallery and art laboratory’ based in Shanghai’s central Xuhui District. Situated on the first floor of a picturesque 1930s garden house in the idyllic greenery of the former French Concession, the gallery works primarily with emerging Chinese and international artists who push the boundaries of contemporary art. Its special focus has been on artists who have personally and professionally migrated between regions, creating unique trans-national and trans-regional links.
