This Saturday, February 8, is the final chance to see “Alchemyverse: Networks of Kisses” in Project Space at Nunu Fine Art New York! We warmly welcome everyone to join us for the artists’ final performance — “Network of Kisses” — from 4 – 6 PM on Saturday.   “Sound’s waves are physical forces that penetrate the hardest substrates of the earth, but at the same time, permeate and dissolve in the bodies of water. It is invisible, formless (or appears to be), and boundless... It manifests itself in the mediums that construct our world — air, water, clouds, soil, concrete, glass, metal, the list can go on and on. To listen is to be touched by these worldly matters.” - Alchemyverse      Video Credit: @studioshekomeko       “Alchemyverse: Networks of Kisses” is on view at Nunu Fine Art New York – Project Space until February 8, 2025.       | Performance Date: Saturday February 8th, 4-6PM   | Venue: Nunu Fine Art New York (381 Broome Street, New York, NY 10013)           -  路由藝術 紐約誠摯邀請您於這週六一同參與Alchemyverse（梁必成與邵奕萱）在計畫空間的最後一場演出——「親吻的網絡」。    「聲波作為物理能量，能穿透大地最堅硬的基質，同時亦能於水體中擴散、溶解。它無形、無界（或看似如此），卻無所不在——於構築我們世界的媒介中顯現：空氣、水、雲霧、土壤、混凝土、玻璃、金屬……不勝枚舉。而傾聽，正是讓自身置於這些世界物質的觸及之中。」 － Alchemyverse     影片由 @studioshekomeko 團隊拍攝製作    Alchemyverse的展覽「親吻的網絡」於路由藝術 紐約計畫空間中展出至 2025 年 2 月 8 日。    ｜演出時間：2025年2月8日週六，下午4點至6點  ｜地點：路由藝術 紐約     …        @alchemyverse          @nunu_hung @miamiguet @ksven22_   @jeannettehuang   @trissy_punzalan       @hhwooooooo  @ud_gaga   @choo.rr  @imme_o31          #Alchemyverse #ProjectSpace #installationart #multimedia #prints #copperplatedrawings #soundart    #AsianVoices #NunuFineArt #Openingreception #AsianArtists #contemporaryart #nunufineartnewyork #Newyorkgallery

Alchemyverse describe their etchings on copper works in “Networks of Kisses” as depicting “memories of how we first encountered different environments while traveling in the Atacama Desert, Lake Superior, China‘s Hainan Island, and the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. The drawings are first made in transparent wax, which we fire and treat with chemical compounds like ferric nitrate and copper sulfide to reveal the drawings on the surface. We like to think of this process as imprinting and fixing an image or a memory on a material as permanent and raw as copper. On the surface level, they fight against the gaze. Our eyes draw a distinction between the material and the image. We like that resistance, the resistance to be seen.”     Alchemyverse: “Networks of Kisses” is on view at Nunu Fine Art New York——Project Space until February 8, 2025.    ｜Venue: Nunu Fine Art New York (381 Broome Street, New York, NY 10013)   ｜Opening Hours: Tue. – Sat. 11 AM – 6 PM     ｜Duration: December 19, 2024 – February 8, 2025      - 針對展覽作品〈親吻的網絡〉中的銅板蝕刻，Alchemyverse 描述道：「我們在旅行中首次接觸不同環境的記憶，包括阿他加馬沙漠、蘇必略湖、中國海南島以及內華達山脈。我們先用透明蠟繪製圖案，然後透過燒製和使用硝酸鐵及硫化銅等化學物質處理，使圖案浮現在銅板表面。我們將這個過程視為將影像或記憶『烙印』在如銅般原始且永久的材料上。作品難以直接以表層解讀，當我們觀看時，目光會在材料與影像之間感受到一種區隔，而我們欣賞的正是這種抗拒——一種不願被輕易看透的張力。」 Alchemyverse 的作品〈親吻的網絡〉於路由藝術 紐約——計畫空間中展出至 2025 年 2 月 8 日。 ｜地點：路由藝術 紐約  ｜開放時間：週二至週六，上午11點至下午6點  ｜展期：2024年12月19日至2025年2月8日    …      @alchemyverse        @nunu_hung @kin_gold @jeannettehuang   @trissy_punzalan      @hhwooooooo  @ud_gaga   @choo.rr  @imme_o31        #Alchemyverse #ProjectSpace #installationart #multimedia #prints #copperplatedrawings #soundart   #AsianVoices #NunuFineArt #Openingreception #AsianArtists #contemporaryart #nunufineartnewyork #Newyorkgallery

Please join us for the performances of Networks of Kisses, where the artistic duo Alchemyverse will activate their site-specific installation as a sonic field for resonance, matter-reality, and collectivity.     Using field recordings, tactile conductors, and live processing, the performance invites the public to experience not only the sound itself, but the mediums through which it travels and manifests — stones, metal, sandstorm, rain, solar, lava, corals, caves, lichen… The act of listening together through these mediums, much like an elastic belt between us and those seemingly static matters, connects individuals into a network of affection, care, and empathy, one that is too often neglected by human perception. As anthropologist Tim Ingold once said, “sound, like breath, is experienced as a movement of coming and going, inspiration and expiration,” Networks of Kisses offers a space for such delicate exchange. A world of vibratory happenings unfolds in time.        ｜Performance Dates:  Thursday, January 23, 2025 | 6–8 PM  Saturday, February 8, 2025 | 4–6 PM  ｜Venue:  Nunu Fine Art New York  381 Broome Street, NYC (between Mott & Mulberry)    -    敬邀您參與藝術家雙人組合Alchemyverse「親吻的網絡」的現場表演！屆時將啟動藝術家專為場地創作的裝置作品，將作品化為匯聚共鳴、物質現實與集體性的聲音場域。   表演運用現場錄音、觸覺導體及即時處理技術，邀請觀眾不僅聆聽聲音本身，更深入感受聲音如何穿梭於多種介質——石頭、金屬、沙塵暴、雨水、太陽熾焰、熔岩、珊瑚、洞穴與地衣等。透過這些介質聆聽，就像一條無形的連結，將我們與那些靜止的物質緊密相繫，交織出一張充滿情感、關懷與共鳴的網絡——一個常被人類感知所忽略的領域。正如人類學家Tim Ingold所言：「聲音如同呼吸，在來去之間、吸納與吐放之間展現流動性。」而「親吻的網絡」則為這種微妙的交流創造了一個舞台，展開一個隨時間流動的振動世界。   ｜表演日期  2025年1月23日，下午6點至8點  2025年2月8日，下午4點至6點  ｜地點 路由藝術 紐約    ...    @alchemyverse        @nunu_hung   @kin_gold @jeannettehuang   @trissy_punzalan      @hhwooooooo  @ud_gaga   @choo.rr  @imme_o31        #Alchemyverse #NetworksofKisses #ProjectSpace #liveperformance #installationart #multimedia #prints #copperplatedrawings #soundart   #AsianVoices #NunuFineArt #AsianArtists #contemporaryart #experimentalart #ArtinNYC #nunufineartnewyork #Newyorkgallery

We’re excited to launch PROJECT SPACE: ASIAN VOICES with Alchemyverse, the Chinese contemporary art collective (Bicheng Liang, b.1994, and Yixuan Shao, b.1996), with the opening reception on Wednesday, December 18, 6-8 PM.     For their exhibition “Networks of Kisses,” the artist duo will recreate their scale-shifting studio in the gallery, combining sonic vibrations, material specimens, and extensive field research from sites of profound environmental transformation, including the Atacama Desert in Chile, Lake Superior, China's Hainan Island, and the Sierra Nevada mountain range.     Their research-based installation will feature handmade prints, drawings on copper plates, and photographs, unfolding across a raised platform in the center of the space. At the same time, sonic vibrations infuse the space through trembling ceramics and suspended objects, immersing the viewers in a multi-sensory experience.     ｜Venue: Nunu Fine Art New York (381 Broome Street, New York, NY 10013) ｜Opening Reception: December 18, 6-8 PM  ｜Duration: December 19, 2024 – February 8, 2025  - 路由藝術 紐約很開心地宣布位於我們地下室空間的專題計畫——「計畫空間：亞洲之聲」，即將正式開啟。 首檔展覽將展出華裔當代藝術雙人組Alchemyverse（梁必成，1994年生；邵奕萱，1996年生）帶來的最新創作。展覽開幕酒會將於 12 月 18 日星期三，下午 6 點至 8 點舉行，邀請大家共同參與這一個特別的時刻。 在「親吻的網絡」中，這對藝術家組合將在畫廊空間內現場重現他們的工作室，透過尺度的轉換與空間的再配置，將其轉化為展覽形式。融合來自受氣候、地質與構造運動影響地區的聲音震動、材料樣本及深入的田野研究。這些地點包括智利的阿他加馬沙漠、蘇必略湖上一座原始小島、中國的海南島以及內華達山脈。 他們基於研究的裝置作品將呈現手工版畫、銅板素描以及藝術家親自拍攝的照片，所有這些內容都展開於展廳中央一座高起的平台之上。同時，聲音震動穿越空間，透過微微顫動的陶瓷與懸掛的物件，賦予展覽生命力與共鳴，形成一個交織感官體驗的多層次場域。   ｜地點：路由藝術 紐約 ｜開幕時間：2024年12月18日星期三，下午6點至8點 ｜展期：2024年12月19日至2025年2月8日 … @alchemyverse   @nunu_hung @kin_gold @jeannettehuang   @trissy_punzalan    @hhwooooooo  @ud_gaga   @choo.rr  @imme_o31   #Alchemyverse #ProjectSpace #AsianVoices #NunuFineArt #Openingreception #AsianArtists #contemporaryart #nunufineartnewyork #Newyorkgallery

We are excited to announce our upcoming group show at 601 Artspace, curated by Jess Wilcox. It is such a pleasure and honor to be working with Jess again, and to show our 𝑾𝑬𝑵𝑫 series alongside such an admirable group of artists. ✨Please join us for an opening reception on Friday, December 13th, 6-8pm✨ From the curatorial notes: ”Focusing on rocks and minerals, rather than their more charismatic plant and animal cousins, “Speed of Stone” asks us to think about time and change on two levels: the exhibition elucidates the incredibly slow but continuous shifts in the Earth’s long history, evolution, and regenerative processes, including the literal speed of stone. At the same time it highlights artists’ reactions to the alarming pace of human-induced climate change, from impassioned grief to calls for radical action.” .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #alchemyverse #interdisciplinary #groupshow #artistresidency #soundart #sculpture   #fieldresearch #studioinsitu #process #visualart #contemporaryart #nycartist #artlife #studiopractice #fieldwork #artandtechnology #geology #artandecology #Anthropocene #DeepTime
