Zhizi Wang: Absence and Proximity | Artlab Gallery
Artlab Gallery
Join us in the Artlab Thursday, July 11 from 5-7pm for the opening reception of MFA candidate Zhizi Wang's thesis show, "Absence and Proximity." The exhibition runs until Friday, July 26. The Artlab is open M-F from 12-5pm.
Emphasizing the affective scope of the digital imagery, Wang’s videos weave together fragmented, commercialized, omnipresent digital image from both private and public platforms into visual stories and poems. Starting off from a personal perspective, the videos in the exhibition also interrogate the relation between digital images and a broader audience: how does our relation with the image, and the bodies within, shift when considering the digital medium?
