”Hybrid Thinking”
a group exhibition curated by Marc & Sara Schiller of Wooster CollectiveJonathan LeVine Gallery, 529 W20th St., NYC
Hybrid Thinking brings together six preeminent emerging artists from around the world and for some it will mark their first exhibition in New York. The show features work by: Dal, from Beijing, China (now based in Cape Town, South Africa); Herakut, a duo based in Frankfurt, Germany; Hyuro, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, currently based in Valencia, Spain; Roa, based in Belgium; Sit, from the Netherlands; and Vinz, born and based in Valencia, Spain.
With a wide array of discipline, medium, style and cultural influence, work by the six artists in this exhibition is thematically cohesive in its related subject matter—through figurative pairings of human and animal elements, the artists explore concepts of instinct, identity and metamorphoses. In the curators’ words: “Hybrid Thinking refers to the current zeitgeist of our time: disparate cultures coming together to create something completely new. Though from distinctly different cultural backgrounds, these artists share an understanding of our cities, of the human condition and our complex relationship with nature.”
- i dont know what im doing! ! !
the wounds you cant see
are you empty too? when you look around have you got no clue? Do you feel emotionless and dead? even though you have every emotion running through your head? when you open your eyes do you wish you were asleep? like you’ve dug yourself down and now youre too deep? do you hope one day you can get out of your shell, maybe your life wouldnt be hell? do you practice, learn, and wait for the day, that you will be loved in every damn way? its like one day i woke up with a changed mind, its like something out there wanted me to find. i wanted to be found as well as it, because my soul was sitting alone in a dark pit. i wish i could shine as bright as the stars, but instead im a creature from mars, if i could show u what i see maybe youd understand maybe ud like me.
