1,000 Islands

Simon Lee, Hong Kong, 304, 3F The Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Hong Kong

This group exhibition is organized around ideas of contemporary ecosystems, where organic matter intersects with synthetic forms. Simultaneously referencing the archipelago of islands off the Canada/ U.S. border and the commercially manufactured salad dressing, the show explores notions of global circulation, natural versus manmade resources, formal recycling and aesthetic mutation. These issues are articulated across a diverse range of practices, with a particular focus on new materials as contemporary artists engage with the stuff of everyday to produce innovative art ‘consumables.’ Eschewing the dystopic, the artists present our current moment as a balance, albeit a fragile and poetic one, while asking us to re-consider the basic conditions for making art.
