Hanart TZ Gallery will be participating at Art Basel Hong Kong 2014, featuring works from Gu Wenda.  The gallery will present a special series of three solo exhibitions by the artist.

All opening in May 2014, the exhibitions will be held in three venues: at the Hanart TZ Gallery space in the Pedder Building, at the gallery’s booth at Art Basel Hong Kong (ABHK), and as part of Art Basel Hong Kong’s “Encounter”, a special showcase in the public area of the fair. These exhibitions feature Gu Wenda’s most recent works as well as his most important signature series: Alchemy, Mythos of Lost Dynasties (showing at Hanart TZ Gallery, Pedder Building); United Nations (showing at ABHK Encounter), and Forest of Stone Steles- Retranslation and Rewriting of Tang Poetry (showing at Hanart gallery booth, ABHK). Through these shows, viewers will have a rare opportunity to encounter a cross-section of Gu’s conceptually powerful works, and appreciate how the artist’s inventive modes including installations made of human hair, mistranslations of Tang poems, “genetic ink” and “tea paper” paintings, are continuously overturning the received notions of “experimental ink” and, what is more, challenging the existing misconceptions of “ink art” in the current market.
