Rare Sea is pleased to introduce “the forest lives on as unfinished film reels”, a group exhibition with the participation of four artists Aliansyah Caniago, Xuân-Hạ, Rab and Hoàng Vũ. Featuring multi-medium artworks, spanning sculpture, silk painting, installation, and moving image, the exhibition explores the lingering existence of materials and spirits as interlocutors on urbanism, production, and labor of modern society.
Urban space and industrialization often drape themselves in fantastical promises of a stable and prosperous future, where labor is a one-way ticket to happiness. What has been pushed aside in the name of progress? Do they carry any momentum of memories and histories? And should we listen, observe, touch, smell and feel them? In “the forest lives on as unfinished film reels”, what remains invisible within the intimate and collective spaces of urbanism and production is exaggerated, saturated and glorified: fauna ghosts, noises, mythical creatures, repetitive gestures. From these vestiges, both human and non-human, the exhibition excavates what has been erased and what haunts us, reflecting perspectives on labor, dwelling, and the residual consequences of industrial society.
We warmly invite you to join us in the opening reception on Friday, March 27, at 6:00 PM.
