We are sooo excited to share this new body of work, created over the course of a year & a half, with the support of @nanzukaunderground , for our first solo museum exhibition in China at @nzai_shanghai
HELLO, GOODBYE.
NANZUKA ART INSTITUTE, Shanghai
November 13 – March 28
Through new sculptures, paintings & plastiline works, HELLO, GOODBYE. invites you on a spiritual homecoming—a journey through our lives, dreams, adventures, death & rebirth. Past, present & future coexist in a playground of the mind and soul, where memory, imagination & spirituality intersect.
Little Cloud, our gentle symbol of peace and hope, welcomes you into a cosmic journey. Fountain of Youth opens a world of infinite possibilities; A Beautiful Place imagines harmony with nature restored after the Great Algorithm War. Playworks and the Infinity Series weave childhood nostalgia, historical iconography & internet culture into a dream beyond linear time.
Among the martyrs and saints of the Great Algorithm War, Little Bear holds a radiant star—a symbol of childlike wonder, the infinite power of play & our collective capacity to dream anew.
In The Tomb of Sam and Tury, our final resting place becomes a celebration of eternal dance, gratitude & metaphysical joy. Through Altar to Pan and Lanac Htrib, a metaphysical flower infinitely folds us back into life. Death is not an ending, but another beginning.
Rooted in our philosophy of Soft Power, this is an invitation to step away from digital noise, reconnect with nature & rediscover love as a quiet force for hope and new possibilities.
The press preview is Fri. Nov. 13th, and the general opening reception is Sat. Nov. 14th. We’ll be there to welcome you!
Thank you to the entire Nanzuka & NZAI teams! 💖
