The gallery  will be showing a solo presentation of Hassan Sharif's 'Objects' in the Insights sector of Art Basel Hong Kong. 

Sharif creates numerous Objects via improvisation and randomness that generate continually evolving and failing systems. He constructs these objects from mass-produced materials made up of rubber, plastic and cloth that he twists and ties together in assemblages and piles. 

In the series entitled Cotton Rope Sharif takes the book as his medium, creating his own version of the artist book. His influence here lies in Arte Povera, and the publication ‘Books by Artists’ edited by Tim Guest and Germano Celant. In this work he pierces into the soft paper of hard cover school books, and weaves knots of black and white cotton rope through these holes.
