BORDERLESS
Reception: Thursday, January 28, 2016
7 pm - 9 pm
Exhibition Dates: January 25 – February 5, 2016
The Swell Gallery presents BORDERLESS, a group show curated by Yueqi Chen featuring work by Weijue Wang, Shisi Huang, Yan Huang, Di Hou, Sai Li, Shihan Xu, and Chuhe Yan.
Non-white artists are always identified, categorized, and stereotyped by their race. Their non-Western backgrounds are often being emphasized and expected to be shown in their works. BORDERLESS pushes this situation further by questioning what art should be considered as non-white art and who should have the power to make such distinction between white and non-white art. This exhibition features all Asian artists, and will be shown in a time close to the Asian Lunar New Year. The artists invite the audience to experience their struggles as non-white artists, especially as Asian artists in this context, in both the aesthetic and conceptual processes of art making as well as each artist’s individual voice confronting the oversimplified stereotype. Using the space of the Swell Gallery, this show incites reflection, destabilizes general perception, and avoids an easy read regarding Asian identities.
The Swell Gallery is located on the second floor of SFAI's Graduate Center at 2565 3rd street. Enter from ground level on 22nd street and the gallery is the first door on the right after arriving at the second floor from the stairwell.
