Press Release

White Cube Hong Kong is pleased to announce a new presentation of work by Haim Steinbach, the artistʼs first solo exhibition in Greater China.

Since the late 1970s, Steinbach has been creating installations, collecting and arranging objects in ʽDisplaysʼ, which take the form of shelves and other architectural apparatus. The artist treats objects as ciphers, each with their own particular identity, story or history, whose meanings and associations rely on the ʽcontingency of their placementʼ, always subject to change. Steinbachʼs shelf works bring about a tension between the role of art and the kind of displays people might assemble at home. Inviting a second look, he asks the viewer to question their perceived understanding of things and to address the act of looking, shifting the parameters to make us see what he presents in many different ways.

About the Artist

Haim Steinbach is a pioneering artist whose practice has radically redefined the status of everyday objects in contemporary art. Internationally recognised for his precise arrangements of found and mass-produced items on custom-made shelves and framing devices, Steinbach’s work explores the psychological, cultural, and ritualistic meanings embedded in objects and the ways they are displayed. His installations have been exhibited at major institutions including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Serpentine Gallery, London; and Kunsthalle Zurich, underscoring his lasting influence on postmodern artistic discourse.

About the Gallery

An international art powerhouse, White Cube was established in 1993 in London by art dealer Jay Jopling. In its space on Duke Street, it served as the early exhibition venue for many now internationally acclaimed British artists, including Tracey Emin, Gilbert & George, Rachel Kneebone and Antony Gormley, who still show with the gallery today.
