curated by Yuko Hasegawa
The exhibition presents new projects by resident artists Luz Mari'a Sa'nchez (San Antonio, TX); Gerda Steiner & Jorg Lenzlinger (Uster, Switzerland); and Do-Ho Suh (New York, NY).
Selected by Yuko Hasegawa, Chief Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, Japan, each artist alternately addresses the current immigration debates, the cultivation of interactive wonderlands, and the exploration of an autobiographical journey.
Luz Mari'a Sa'nchez - San Antonio, Texas
Mexican-born Luz Mari'a Sa'nchez’s immersive sound and video environments challenge physical and emotional responses to sonic data through dislocation, duration, and repetition. Minimal in presentation, her works isolate and amplify politically charged frequencies such as Arab radio broadcasts and the U.S./Mexico border soundscape to abstract and re-map cultural space. At Artpace, Sa'nchez will continue to investigate site and language with a project that reflects on current immigration debates.
Gerda Steiner & Jorg Lenzlinger - Uster, Switzerland
Since 1997 Gerda Steiner & Jorg Lenzlinger have collaborated to produce interactive installations that tangle cultivation with chaos, the synthetic with the natural, and the fantastic with the domestic. Twigs, cables, blossoms, and found objects fuse to create room-encompassing webs, falling gardens, and crystalline pools. For their Artpace residency, Steiner & Lenzlinger are growing an allegorical grotto for the city’s namesake, Saint Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost things.
Do-Ho Suh - New York, New York
Korean-born Do-Ho Suh’s large-scale sculptures explore the individual’s connection to the spatial, cultural, and global whole. Examining relationships between personal and collective identity, past projects have amassed military dog tags into a warrior’s gown and refashioned the artist’s home in suspended fabric. At Artpace, Suh will further intertwine autobiography and architecture, modeling a process-filled narrative of his journey from Korea to the United States, and his continued negotiation of these two worlds.
