ADVANCE PREVIEW OF CONSENSUAL HALLUCI/NATION WITH GORDON CHEUNG
@ Kavi Gupta Gallery
835 W Washington Blvd, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Wednesday, September 16th, from 3PM - 5PM
On view through Saturday, November 21st
Join Artist Gordon Cheung for an advance preview of Consensual Halluci/nation, his first solo exhibition with Kavi Gupta. Led by the artist, the walkthrough offers an intimate introduction to the exhibition and an opportunity to hear directly from Cheung about the works on view, his ongoing exploration of new technologies, finance, colonial histories, systems of belief, and the ideas informing his practice.
Drawing on the artist’s experience growing up between London and Hong Kong, Consensual Halluci/nation examines the entanglement of technology, global finance, colonial history, and systems of belief. Cheung’s practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, 3D printing, and emerging new media technologies, including artificial intelligence, while remaining deeply committed to the material possibilities of painting. His works transform systems that ordinarily operate at speeds beyond human perception into objects that can be physically encountered and contemplated. Capital moves at light speed; in Cheung’s work, it is forced into weight, silence, and slow time. The resulting landscapes become meditations on what it means to be human as civilizations rise and fall, and as histories continue to be shaped by those who write them.
