Description
Catalogues the third and final exhibition of the RobertH. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative at theSolomon R. Guggenhem Museum, New York.
The culmination of an ambitious multi-year commissioning and collection buildinginitiative at the Guggenheim Museum,One Hand Clappingasks five artists fromGreater China – Cao Fei, Duan Jianyu, Lin Yilin, Wong Ping and Samson Young – toinvestigate our changing relationships to visions of the future. From a film shot atthe automated industrial facilities of mainland China to a virtual reality interventioninto the Guggenheim’s iconic rotunda atrium and musical compositions for imaginaryinstruments that defy the laws of physics, their works identify the reflexive, poeticspaces that both escape and exist alongside the homogenizing logic of globalization.
This bilingual catalogue is conceived as a critical component in the thinking andproduction of the exhibition. In addition to essays by the exhibition’s organizers, XiaoyuWeng and Hou Hanru, it includes a theoretical text on technology and culture by thephilosopher Yuk Hui, selected poems by millennial poets, and special sections presentingmaterials related to the commissioning process for each of the participating artists.
