Sandra Mujinga Work from Skin to Skin at Stedelijk Museum. “Mujinga transforms the Stedelijk’s lower-level gallery into a stark, otherworldly realm with Skin to Skin. Sound, light, mirrors, and sculptures conjure an unearthly space where 55 identical figures occupy the space. Mujinga investigates concealment through multiplication. Identical at first glance, their multiplication could evoke a […]

Lotus L. Kang Work from Borne at Esther Schipper, Berlin. “Lengths of unfixed industrial film, ‘skins’ as Kang refers to them, are draped over and across raw steel tubes suspended from the ceiling.

Nguyen Phuong Linh Work from Sanctified Clouds. “Almost 200 small masses of Sanctified Clouds fly over the wall, foam beautifully and shine in a blue hue, the blue of peace, Oriental ceramics, and sacred mosaic paintings in Arabic temples.

James Richards Work from Fevers. “Sometimes, there is a fever to perception—a heat that builds when an image lingers too long, when a sound worms its way beneath language.
