David Zwirner is pleased to present a group exhibition opening this September at the gallery’s Hong Kong location. Border(line) will bring together artists from the gallery program alongside thought-provoking young voices from Asia and its diaspora.
Borders are inescapable thresholds that demarcate contemporary life, separating nations, public and private spaces, and conceptual and psychological states of being. A seminal video work by the Belgian-born, Mexico-based artist Francis Alÿs, serves as a thematic anchor to the exhibition. In Painting/Retoque (2008), the artist repaints the fading median strips of a road that crosses the Panama Canal, a gesture that underscores the mutable and arbitrary nature of such boundaries.
Additional works by David Zwirner artists will include those by Josef Albers, Raoul De Keyser, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, all of whom explore the idea of frames, horizons, and boundaries from cross-generational and transcultural perspectives.
Gallery address: 5–6/F, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central
