KAWS at Mary Boone Gallery

KAWS’s signature figure appears in two new sculptures fabricated in wood - each over eighteen feet high. In "ALONG THE WAY", a pair of the figures, heads lowered and one arm on each other’s back, embrace in a pose of gentle solace. 

The other work, "AT THIS TIME", presents Companion standing alone with head arched back and hands covering the eyes. The posture at once conveys a reluctance to face the world and a withdrawal from what has already been witnessed.

KAWS was born in 1974 in Jersey City, New Jersey, and is based in Brooklyn, New York City.

Mike Kelley at MoMA PS1

Mike Kelley produced a body of deeply innovative work mining American popular culture and modernist and alternative traditions - which he set in relation to relentless self and social examinations, both dark and delirious. Mike Kelley is the largest exhibition of the artist's work to-date, bringing over 250 works are hold in MoMA. Over 35-year career, he worked in every conceivable medium - drawing on paper, sculpture, performance, music, video, photography, and painting - exploring themes as diverse as American class relations, sexuality, repressed memory, systems of religion and post-punk politics, to which he brought incisive critique and self-deprecating humor. 

Kandors are scaled-down versions of the fictional capital of Krypton, Superman's home planet. Kelley analyzed versions of Kandor rendered by different artists throughout the long history of the DC Comics' serial. He then constructed 3D models that duplicate the size and detail of the diverse stylizations of Kandor found in different episodes.   

"Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites" 1991/1999, one of the Kelley's most iconic works, features conglomerations of found stuffed animals suspended as "satellites" around the larger cluster of plush toys. It was auctioned in 2007 at Phillips de Pury&Company for $2.7 million, a price record for the artist.   

The work Kelley produced throughout his life was marked by his extraordinary powers of critical reflection as well as a creative, and surprising, repurposing of ideas and materials.

Mike Kelley was born in Detroit in 1954, lived and worked in Los Angeles, died in 2012.

Ham Jin at Doosan Gallery

Ham Jin's solo exhibition "Unseen" consists of approximately fifty miniature sculptures and was created with materials such as dust particles, polymer clay, and dead insects. 

The entire work looks like black clouds, but by getting closer the viewer can really see urban scenes, like New York City's buildings, or human faces, emerge out of unidentifiable organisms. 

Ham Jin's installations allow us to see the world from a different perspective and witness the artist's unique vision by finding their own interpretation of small sculptures.

Ham Jin was born in 1978, lives and works in Seoul.

Sandra Cinto at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery

"Piece of Silence" by Sandra Cinto features scenes of musical scores, spiraling landscapes and turbulent seas. Through sound and silence, movement and stillness, these new compositions explore the passage of time within broader narratives of existence and transcendence, creating spaces for reverie that encourage a deeper reflection on both the course and transience of life.

This work can be traced to the sound of silence, and music that brings familiar motifs in the mind. Pictured waves, rocks, and mountainous terrain are seen as the world moves into a certain satisfaction and bliss. Executed in monochrome tones the piece doesn't scream in riot of colors, but holds on a positive note in a pattern of quietness.

"One day, after the rain " painting, a rather large 200 cm x 1330 cm, simultaneously transmits ordering precipitation, with a light breeze to a storm. It creates the effect of freshness in an afternoon rain and the shocking forces of nature which combine perfectly with each other.

In "Emerald III" transmitting light passes clouds on a sunny day. You can spend hours watching the careless movement of the scenery.

Sandra Shinto was born in Santo Andre in 1968, lives and works in São Paulo .

Roni Horn at Hauser&Wirth

"Everything was sleeping as if the universe were a mistake" express Horn’s exploration of the nature of perception, memory, and identity. The experiential quality of Horn’s glass installations link the relationship of time to space and light. 

'Untitled ("My name is Mary Katherine Blackwood. I am eighteen years old, and I live with my sister Constance. I have often thought that with any luck at all I could have been born a werewolf, because the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same length, but I have had to be content with what I had. I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise. I like my sister Constance, and Richard Piantagenet, and Amanita phalloides, the deathcup mushroom. Everyone else in my family dead.")' (2013), a sculpture comprised of ten cylindrical cast glass elements rendered in subtly shifting shades of chamomile, chartreuse, and lime. 

‘Untitled (“A dream dreamt in a dreaming world is not really a dream, says classical Chinese wisdom, but a dream not dreamt is”)’ (2013),  a counterpart of the lime glass sculpture but in subtly shifting shades of violet. 

Separated but palpably connected, the two sculptures invite comparison and contemplation of accepted notions of ‘likeness’ and ‘difference’. Reflecting the changing natural light from apertures in the ceiling above, Horn’s sculptures partner with the weather and the constant cycles of time to manifest her binary experimentation with color, weight, and lightness, and solidity and fluidity.

Roni Horn was born in 1955 and lives and works in New York.
