This Wednesday at @bungee.space — I’ll be reading a text I wrote in 2021, in Chinese, for a work that harbors so much regret, illusion, and just, mistake. There will be a new translation too. I tried translating it back then, it never worked, and I didn’t open the doc for five years because I simply forgot it was there. I’ll also bring (maybe??) a small book (?!) handmade for the occasion 🤲🏻 ty @elisabethmolin for having me PICNIC Wednesday, April 15, 7-8:30pm With Readings by: Mei Zheng @meimeismenu David Lindsay @_day___worl Sixing Xu @xu6ing Andreia Santana @andreiaapsantana Sarah McNulty @_sarahmcnulty_  and Neil Keith Baker @neilkeithbaker Mette Sterre @mettesterre Elisabeth Molin @elisabethmolin Sounds by Bernd Oppl @berndoppl

𝒮𝓊𝓂𝓂𝑒𝓇 𝒮𝑒𝓈𝓈𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟺: 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅 An interactive exhibition by Pararailing (Jie Shao, Sixing Xu and Xuecan Ye) July 11–21, 2024 Opening reception: Thursday, July 11, 6-8pm 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅 is an installation, a community printshop, and a collective dictionary created by Pararailing @para_railing , their friends, and friends of their friends. Launched in 2022 as a response to the slippage of meaning that marks our post-pandemic world, Railing Codex invites cultural practitioners—artists, curators, writers, poets, scholars, and arts workers—to each contribute a dictionary definition for a word. The exhibition at 601Artspace will bring the first three volumes of Railing Codex into a physical space: each entry is presented as a self-inking stamp, and viewers are invited to create their own prints and montages of meaning. Come make one. Learn more about the project at railingcodex.com. 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅 is part of Summer Sessions, a season of experimental programming including screenings, micro-exhibitions and all manner of gatherings related to art and art practices. Our gallery at 88 Eldridge St is open from Thursday to Sunday, 1-6pm.

Grateful for the lunar calendar for giving everyone a second chance to start over & yes I make your favorite year of the dragon accessory

Me sans my under-eye bags

My kind of moment

Had this idea of starting an account dedicated to #dirtystudiohands… only to realize how few photos I have! These hands have been too dirty or injured to pick up a phone and take pictures of themselves

I’m showing some new works at @narsfoundation 🫧 “Mother Mold” opens this Friday 3/3 from 6-8, vacuum not included Mother Mold March 3-22 NARS Main Gallery A mold acts as a container, a womb, a shell, or an embrace. It is bodily, serving as a means for production and replication. Through strategies of experimentation, humor, and play the artists in this exhibition explore the interrelationships of bodies, objects, and environment, calling into question their functionality and collective meaning. Featuring works by NARS International Residency Season I artists: Woohee Cho Rex Delafkaran Maggie Jensen Adrienne Reynolds Mar Ramón Soriano Lea Devon Sorrentino Gabriela Těthalová Lauren Walkiewicz Eun Jin Wang Ryan Muchen Wang Yixuan Wu Sixing Xu Chengtao Yi
