"Watching" by Abdul-Rahman Abdullah and Anna Louise Richardson at West Space Gallery

"Watching" is an upcoming collaborative exhibition by Abdul-Rahman Abdullah and Anna Louise Richardson, which will run from 14 May - 26 June 2022 at West Space Gallery, Collingwood Yards. The works in this exhibition convey feelings of being approached, watched, or singled out by wild or domestic animals. They also capture the emotive resonance of these moments, reflecting ideas of death, fear and preternatural communication with the natural world. Raising a young family in a rural environment, the exhibition builds on the artists’ shared experiences to articulate personal stories that voice their relationships with other living creatures. "Watching" embraces both the magic and fantasy of childhood and the pragmatism of living in close proximity to nature, renewing mythologies about the cyclical processes of life.

Low Yield Fruit by Nathan Beard at swea pea Gallery

On view from 26 March - 7 May 2022 at the swea pea Gallery, Low Yield Fruit is Nathan's new body of sculptural work that was inspired by the complex personal, cultural, and colonial histories of his Australian-Thai heritage. He draws from his research on the trade and export of tropical fruits between Thailand and Australia.  The works exhibited comprise detailed silicone casts of tropical fruits exported from Thailand to Australia, such as durians, mangos, mangosteens and jackfruits, and limes which were harvested from the artist’s late mother’s garden. These fleshy fruits are spiked precariously on top of rigid steel frames and bronze forms enlarged from scanned details of hands and heads from Buddhist shrine statues, accented with shimmering resin pools of juices. These totem-like forms are personal artefacts that are manifestations of his cultural memory which are imbued with layers of symbolic meaning.

The Artling Presents: Giorgiana Theiler's Solo Exhibition at kasa. kaisin., Zurich

In collaboration with kasa. kaisin., The Artling is excited to announce our first exhibition in Europe featuring the young Swiss artist Giorgiana Theiler. Theiler is a South African Italian - born Swiss Artist raised and living in Zurich, Switzerland. She graduated with a BA Hons in Communication Design with a pathway in Photography in 2018. She was scouted by a professor at the Royal College of Art, London and subsequently completed a Masters degree in Information Experience Design in 2020.  Her recent body of work revolves around the utilisation of information to create an experience of the senses through different design aspects, with colour theory and abstract expressionism as highly significant themes. Giorgiana’s work epitomises the finer detail usually concealed from the naked eye but made visible through technology. In implementing this method, she wishes to add her contribution to the enhancement of personal well-being. She draws her influential energy and inspiration from visual artists such as Gerard Richter, Felipe Pantone, and cultural artists Jeff Koons.

'Parallel Universes: Parafacts And Parafictions': Exhibition Installation Images

The Artling proudly opened its latest exhibition ‘Parallel Universes: Parafacts and Parafictions’ in Shanghai on 10 November. ‘Parallel Universes: Parafacts and Parafictions’ transforms the building’s colonial architecture into a platform that stages a heightened experience that brings the community together, exploring the dynamics between different genres and mediums. In understanding and reinterpreting the world around us, the participating artists present their visions through fictional readings of reality. The fine line that defines reality and fiction is ever more blurred. This confusion provides opportunities to critically examine the actual world and reconsider the potential of our present experience. This exhibition also questions – within our own narrow sense of what we deem real or unreal – the existence of other realities that allow for very different possibilities to exist. Fiction in one world may be a reality in another. The full artist lineup includes Aspartime, Carlos Sebastia and Jane Pickersgill, Ce Jian, Chen Xiaoyi, Chen Zhe, Gao Lei, Hu Weiyi, Joey Xia, John Monteith, Li Jinghu, Li Tao, Pu Yingwei, Ren Bo, Yang Guangnan, and Zhang Miao.This exhibition is held at the Design Republic Commune and will be on from 10 November to 9 January 2022.Scroll down to see images of the artworks in the exhibition!
