Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork before us is a striking installation that combines geometric patterns and weathered materials. The central focus is a set of symmetrical eyes, created through a grid of intersecting lines, which draw the viewer in. Surrounding this central motif are panels of distressed wood and metal, evoking a sense of decay and abandonment. The overall composition creates a visually compelling and thought-provoking piece that explores themes of surveillance, confinement, and the human condition. The artist's intention may be to comment on the surveillance state and its impact on personal freedom, though the interpretation is left open to the viewer's own contemplation. ...

Artist
Candice Lin
B.1979, American

Candice Lin works among multidisciplinary media, such as sculpture and video, which explores complex themes of cultural, gender, and racial disparities, uncontrolled sexualities, and non-normative behavior. Her work critiques the permeable nature of delineations, employing transformative materials to highlight the fluidity of boundaries: a sculptural tableau of a tar-coated cornfield seamlessly transitioning into a hirsute, black pig, digital reinterpretations of Mapplethorpe’s Black Book nudes metamorphosed into Martian geological forms, and a life-sized cockroach with an iridescent, spaceship-like shell punctuated with silicone vaginas, oozing suggestively. Lin's work orbits the themes of the fluidity and malleability of the boundaries between the self and the other. It further scrutinizes how Western ideologies of self-identity exert influence on power dynamics inherent within conceptions of individualism, selfhood, liberty, and differentiation. Through her exploration of marginalized histories and the legacies of colonialism, along with the materials that bridge them, her work threads together disparate narratives of migration, biological warfare, and the colonial relationships of Britain and America with China. ...

Instituto de Visión
Bogotá, New York City

Instituto de Vision is a Bogotá and New York based gallery for conceptual practices. Their mission is to investigate conceptual discourses that have been neglected by the official Latin American art canon. They have recovered important estates from the Latin American art of the mid century and continue to research the most enigmatic oeuvres of the region. Through a parallel program, they represent some of the most relevant contemporary practices from Colombia, Chile, North America, Venezuela, and others. Directed by three women, Instituto de Vision gives special attention to female voices, queer theories, environmental activism, the conflicts of migration, and other critical positions that challenge the established order. Using the international art scene as a platform, they are committed to give visibility and expand the work of artists that reveal critical realities and raise important questions for these contemporary subjects. ...
