Kiang Malingue • New York From Being Jealous of a Dog's Vein curated by Brook Hsu November 20 - January 17, 2026 thank you @broooooooooooooook @kiangmalingue Dino Matt, Mirror (entry), 2025. Glazed stoneware, 13 x 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 in, 33 × 16.5 x 16.5 cm Dino Matt, Mirror (exit), 2025. Glazed stoneware, 13 1/2 x 6 x 6 in, 34.3 × 15.2 x 15.2 cm Taking its title from a 1969 text by ankuko butoh dancer and founder Tatsumi Hijiiata, From Being Jealous of a Dog's Vein reaches its audience in the form of a dance play containing five acts; Process, Material, Form, Animal. Memory. Act I: Process features 6 pieces, by Yasuo Kuroda, Rose Salane, Su-Mei Tse, Dino Matt, and Masaomi Yasunaga. "I have yearned again and again for the meaning of where to start, a meaning I have not been able to ascertain in my own life and which does not come alive in my talent. I cherish wet animals and the bodies of the old, withered like dead trees, precisely because I believe that through them I may be able to come close to my desire. My body longs to be cut into pieces and to hide itself somewhere cold. I think that is, after all, the place to which I shall return and am certain that, frozen hard and about to fall down, what my eyes have seen there is simply an intimacy with things which continue to die their own deaths." -Hijikata, Tatsumi. "From Being Jealous of a Dog's Vein." TDR/The Drama Review 44, no. 1 (MIT Press, March 2000): 56-59. Image courtesy of Kiang Malingue, photo by Sebastian Bach.

Desert Hills opening today at South Willard 3-5pm

DINO MATT DESERT HILLS Opening Reception this Sunday January 19, 3 to 5 PM Dino Matt (b. 1987, Havasu, Arizona) makes two- and three-dimensional ceramic sculpture that use gestural marks as an access point through which he explores figuration, the formal qualities of sculpture, and the tactility of the clay material itself. Working within a distinct spectrum of color, inspired in equal parts by Southwestern and urban landscapes, Abstract Expressionism, and personal memory, Matt creates each work as a direct response to his environments and the multitudinous ways in which he engages with them.  The textured, collage-like quality of the sculptures  call to mind mosaic tiling or folk art traditions that make use of everyday, discarded scrap materials, however in lieu of affixed objects, Matt works the clay as if it’s a thick paint, creating expressive marks and flourishes to give the sense that each vessel was once broken and then pieced back together. - Maia Asshaq The exhibition, Desert Hills, is on view at South Willard from January 19 through February 23, 2025.
