Follies of a Species

[Press Release]
Opening this Saturday, November 9, 5-8pm

November 9-December 21, 2013

Man is a clever animal indeed. Sometimes in fact too clever. Our ambitions as a species often outstrip our ability for foresight which results in creating a less than funny comedy of errors. In this show a number of artists look at how our planet and our society has changed since the first industrial revolution, and the digital revolution that followed. Here we examine our conflicted relationship with machines, how they affect our lives, our society and most importantly our planet.
Artists: Bovey Lee, Chen Hangfeng, Chen Xi, Francesca Galeazzi, Li Xiaofei, Magdalen Wong, Maya Kramer, Savinder Bual, and Zheng Wenxin.
