Sept 13, 2024 Opening: HUA´S HAPPY MEMORY SHOP
Soon we will sell you some exceptional memories. HUA´S HAPPY MEMORY SHOP is HUA WANG´s 王画 first Berlin Solo show, opening during BERLIN ART WEEK on September 13th at UNTITLED in Kreuzberg.
After her recent group exhibit at Mitte´s Migrant Bird Space, finishing a commissioned work by everybody’s favorite Japanese anime cat DORAEMON and being selected for this years Jingshan Sculpture Park in Shanghai (the city where she currently exhibits with LINE GALLERY) she will present HUA´S HAPPY MEMORY SHOP curated by WISE Founder Philipp Grefer
It is Hua’s first European solo show—a sort of visual best-of album leading to ambiguous surreal universes full of trees, chains, hooks, vases, turtles, running snails, cosmic lights, collapsing quantum states, and identity-confused vegetables hooked on weed and fortune cookies worthy of Lewis Carroll.
Music will be provided by THE ALLEGORIST, who will play a live set.
A visionary, enigmatic, transmedia, and boundary-pushing artist known for crafting deep, immersive, and intricate sonic tales that weave together mysteries, art, philosophy, symbolism, spirituality and science fiction.
Get ready for a wild ride through various rabbit holes!
Starts at 17:30 with the live set by THE ALLEGORIST at 7pm
Of course, it´s free and we have some cold drinks & goodies for you. In case you have kids: Bring them for a ride -- they´ll love the slide.
