Lance Fung Gallery is pleased to expose today's contemporary art scene to a contemporary formation of new artists through its exhibition, PIX. The exhibition's curator, Lance Fung, finds himself at the center of a show jointly instigated by the permanent gallery artists at Lance Fung Gallery and Emily Harvey Gallery. Each gallery artist has selected another artist outside of either gallery for participation in PIX, allowing artist-selected-artists to exhibit works within a chance context while being positioned in the wider gallery community.
The selected artists are China Blue, Bob Braine, Rafe Churchill, Devon Dikeou, Jonathan Feldschuh, Franky Kong, William Pope L., Minaliza1000, Jeff Perkins, Eliza Proctor, Kristine Roepstorff, Adam Smith, Suzy Sureck and Paul Welsh.
Unlike many group shows, PIX has challenged each artist to fabricate an original work specifically for this exhibition. One might expect a group of site works in one space to be an overcrowded experience, yet PIX presents a clear and clean surface. Ideas of space, optics, location and disorientation are just a few of the interests developed in the individual works of art and PIX as a group show.
Media include sound, video, sculpture, installation, drawing, painting and outdoor work. Devon Dikeou covers the entire floor of the main gallery with ceiling tin, turning the experience of a group exhibition into something unexpected. While Ms. Dikeou's installation is a visual tour de force, it also serves as a sound work and process work when viewers walk on it. China Blue fills the main space with a work which compliments Jeff Perkins' sound work in the rear gallery.
Bob Braine, Rafe Churchill, Jonathan Feldschuh, Franky Kong, William Pope L., Minaliza1000, Eliza Proctor, Kristine Roepstorff, Adam Smith, Suzy Sureck and Paul Welsh present extensive works ranging from two dimensional imagery to concept, process, sculpture and ephemera further widening the scope of the exhibition.
