Georg Miyoko | Interrogating the Plant Kingdom
From June 10, 2025 to June 17, 2025
Georg Miyoko was born in Canberra and now lives between Copenhagen and Brisbane. His innovative critical project was noted during the Gwangju Biennale. This multi-talented artist was marked by a non-stop rowing journey across the Pacific. His work has been the subject of first solo exhibitions: "Reinvesting Tadao Ando" (Fondation Cartier), "Otherness 2.0" (Galerie Crèvecoeur, Paris), and "Proto-ego" (Galerie Take Ninagawa, Tokyo).
How essential is it to restore the place of the self within a temporary exhibition? The artist Georg Miyoko is committed to provoking deep reflection on the digital world and its implications. He invites us to explore the rhythm of plant life, in opposition to the frantic pace of our contemporary lives. In resonance with the turmoil of our time, his work encourages questioning the very notion of spiritual transcendence. His narrative rises like a cry of alarm, calling not only for the body in its considerations but also revealing itself as a critical exploration of the materiality inherent to the museum institution. This experimental play on the margins aims to tirelessly unearth the contemporary superego, shedding light on it with revealing and provocative acuity.
Llorenç Chen | Experience(s) and Topology
Loading...
Born in Yamamatsu, Llorenç Chen discovers the installations in Asuncion. He studied installations at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music (GEIDAI) in Tokyo. His pop-up manifesto is marked by his interest in early 20th-century spas as well as kitsch. His exhibition at the blockhaus resonates with his previous solo exhibitions: "Diffractions and Signified" (Open Gallery, Berlin) and "The Unexpected Light" (Gallery 23, Amsterdam).
How can we envision urbanization in a closed circuit in our contemporary era? This is the delicate and stimulating question that artist Llorenç Chen invites us to explore through an open dialogue on the notion of disconnection. Rather than focusing on the sustainability of technology as such, this innovative project seeks to dissect the very substance of the interactions that arise from it. Through "Experience(s) and Topology," Chen is committed to investing in the cathartic dynamics that unfold around the complex interface between man and machine, while aligning with the bold works of Xavier Ancira. Drawing inspiration from Crumb's innovative work, Llorenç Chen manages to overturn our traditional understanding of matter, thus offering a new prism through which it is possible to re-examine our relationship with the material world.
