NEW YORK, NY
.-Andrew Kreps Gallery is presenting Soft Dilemma, He Xiangyus first exhibition with the gallery, as well as the artists first solo show in the United States.
He Xiangyu s conceptual practice manifests in multi-year projects that span sculpture, drawing, installation, film and publications. Emerging as part of a generation of artists who experienced the post-socialist state of China, Hes work looks to shift the viewers perception of cultural signifiers through an examination and manipulation of material. The exhibition highlights the divergent strategies used by He to investigate an array of clinical, social and anthropological themes, and his response to the ongoing political and existential crises in the world.
