Mostra doppia personale.

Comunicato stampa

Born in 1988 in Guangdong Province in China, Trevor Yeung has been chosen as the featured artist for Hong Kong’s participation at the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Currently the artist lives and works in Hong Kong. His practice consistently excavates the inner logics of closed systems and the way in which such systems contain and create emotional and behavioural conditions. In his mixed-media works, carefully staged objects, animals, and plants function as aesthetic pre-texts which delicately and ironically address notions of artificiality and the processes of human relations.

Dan Rees (1982, Swansea, Wales) lives and works in Berlin. Rees studied at the Staatliche Hochschule fur Bildende Künste – Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main until 2009 and graduated from Camberwell College of Arts, London in 2004. Entangled with pop culture and art historical references, Rees’s multifaceted practice is in constant dialogue with the context around him, rendering dynamic and conceptually oriented works. Drawing from his childhood memories in Swansea, but also engaging concepts from abstraction and modernity, he has a process-driven approach that engenders innovative forms of art making.
