This idea takes form in an immersive, cave-like environment filled with moving sculptures, interactive video games, a mechanical sound installation and mixed-media works that speak to the diversity of her practice.

Known for his use of white paint, Robert Ryman treated the medium not as absence but as inquiry as he tested how surface, scale, material and even fasteners shape a painting's relationship to its space.

Known for his staged, cinematic photography, the Beijing-based artist constructs atmospheric scenes that feel suspended in fragmented time. Muted and often vacant, his compositions reflect the quiet disquiet of a post-pandemic world. This exhibition also marks the conclusion of his 'New City' series, a more than decade-long exploration of urban aesthetics and the psychological impact of contemporary life.

It brings together a diverse range of contemporary artists whose works challenge commercial norms and celebrate creativity.
