Border(line) at David Zwirner Hong Kong

Published by Artomity Magazine

Border(line) /Sep 13 – Oct 25, 2025 /Opening Reception: Saturday, Sep 13, 3pm – 7pm / David Zwirner5-6/F, H Queen’s 80 Queen’s Road CentralCentral, Hong KongTuesday – Saturday, 11am – 7pm+852 21195900 davidzwirner.com David Zwirner is pleased to present a group exhibition at the gallery’s Hong Kong location. Border(line) centers on the inescapable thresholds—literal and abstract—that demarcate nations, spaces, and contemporary life, and considers borders as conceptual and psychological states of being.  Bringing together a diverse group of artists from the gallery’s program alongside voices from across Asia, this presentation offers an opportunity for global connection and exchange around the existence and possibilities of such partitions. The exhibition will feature works by Josef Albers, Francis Alÿs, Chen Wei, Raoul De Keyser, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Hu Xiaoyuan, James Prapaithong, Prae Pupityastaporn, Wong Ping and Xie Nanxing. Together, these artists present a multifaceted, cross-generational, and transcultural vision of twenty-first-century life, one that is shaped and reshaped by constantly changing borders, both real and imagined.

They all yearn for or revile different things: Ken Okiishi’s boys write postcards to their holiday crushes; Tala Madani disdains the men in her paintings, who look like halal butchers yearning for their lost youth and once active equipment; Konstantin Bessmertny’s weightlifter loves ‘ping pong because it cuts gender and age’ Wilson Shieh’s musical family are strangely androgynous and sexual at the same time; and Annie Sprinkle celebrates her breasts in a bosom ballet. The exhibition is part of Ping Pong’s 10th anniversary celebrations.

Wong Ping at Kiang Malingue

Inspired by the experience of paracusia, Crumbling Earwax, Georges Bataille’s The Solar Anus, and a tête-à-tête with a stranger in bed in the afternoon, the sizeable artworks thematically and formally correspond to one another, exploring the aesthetic meaning(-lessness) of bullshit, expanding Wong’s curious body of art that revolves around circular narratives and motifs.

Wong Ping

Published by Artomity Magazine

Heart Digger / Camden Arts Centre & Cork Street Gallery, London / Jul 5 – Sep 15, 2019 /  Margot Mottaz / How to write about art when the world is on fire? More specifically, how to write about art from Hong Kong when the territory is experiencing a historic revolution? The answer is simple: art is freedom. It offers a new perspective, a common language to challenge opposition, ignorance and oppression. And Wong Ping’s two-venue exhibition in London does exactly that. Spread across the Camden Arts Centre (CAC) – which awarded Wong the inaugural Emerging Artist Prize at Frieze in 2018 – and the Cork Street Gallery, the works in Wong Ping: Heart Digger employ just the right amount of humour and cynicism to expose the darkest sides of contemporary society in their full absurdity. Wong unmistakably belongs to the 21st century. Explicitly political, he tackles everything from alienation and taboos to violence and corruption in the age of online dating, surveillance and social media, all packaged in a low-resolution saccharine aesthetic and deadpan …

Performing Society: The Violence of Gender

Published by Artomity Magazine

By Christie Lee / Half-used paint. Paint-streaked trainers. Crinkly plastic drop cloth. Three panels in shades of pink and orangey-red. A scene of unfinished business. But there is also a palpable sense of energy to it. On the wall opposite, an oil painting depicts a row of female nudes ascending the stairs, their bodies half-translucent, their flesh cutting into each other, giving a sense that whoever was there a moment ago had hurried off, leaving behind a trace of their presence. The two pieces could have been by the same artist, but they’re not. While the trainers and panels – meant to evoke “the carnal colour of the flesh”, according to the exhibition catalogue – are part of Pamela Rosenkranz’s Sexual Power (Three Viagra Paintings), the nudes belong to Jana Euler’s Nude Climbing Up the Stairs (2014). It is a liberating but also curious opening for Performing Society: The Violence of Gender, a show that – as one discovers in the proceeding exhibits – puts the systemic violence done to our bodies on glaring display. The exhibition is …
