UCCA Dune presents “Alice Wang: The Touching Touched”, the most comprehensive institutional solo exhibition of Alice Wang to date. The exhibition is a survey of Wang’s sculptures, films, and photographs from 2013 to 2023, and includes a series of new sculptures commissioned by UCCA. Through three-dimensional, moving image, and photographic forms, the exhibition combines scientific, technological, and mythical perspectives to explore nature in cosmic and subatomic scales at the intersection of the real and the imaginary.
From October 29, 2023, to February 18, 2024, UCCA Dune presents “Alice Wang: The Touching Touched.” This is the most comprehensive institutional solo show of Alice Wang – presenting a survey of her sculptures, films, and photographs from 2013 to 2023, and a series of new sculptures commissioned by UCCA. Wang investigates the uncanny dimensions of the natural world through her bodily senses, visiting faraway places such as the Arctic, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope in Guizhou, the Mesoamerican pyramids, and other geological, technological, and archaeological sites. Through the mediums of sculpture, film, and photography, Wang reconfigures our understanding of reality using materials such as meteorites, atomic and subatomic elements, fossils, sensitive plants, moss, heat, water vapor, wind, and other metamorphic substances. This exhibition is curated by UCCA curator Neil Zhang.
