Join exhibiting artist Xuan Ye for an informal meet and greet within their exhibition It Takes Spirals to Feed the Spiral. Ye will provide a short tour of their work and be available to answer any audience questions.
This event replaces the originally promoted conversation between Ye and Debashis Sinha, which has been postponed.
Through ongoing research into spirals as an archetype, Ye reimagines conceptions of space and time. The exhibition looks at how spirals repeat themselves in the smallest components of life and the largest forces in our universe; in their practice, Ye refers to nanoscopic imagery that reveals the double helix structure in DNA, and telescopes that make visible the spiral formations of galaxies.
