The Hearing Trumpet
Part I
26 February – 26 March 2022
Organized by Danielle Shang
Galerie Marguo is pleased to present The Hearing Trumpet, Part I, the first installment of a group exhibition gathering artists of Asian descent from the Americas and Europe. The title of the exhibition is adopted from the late Leonora Carrington’s fantastical novel The Hearing Trumpet (1974).
The participating artists include Pio Abad, Naotaka Hiro, Pearl C. Hsiung, Ce Jian, Yeni Mao, Tammy Nguyen, Anna Sew Hoy, Sean Shim-Boyle, XIE Lei, ZHANG Yunyao, and Ye Qin Zhu. Their works span all disciplines and articulate negotiations of multiple and sometimes clashing histories and identities, the processing of trauma and new awareness, and different notions of temporalities and spatialities that are informed by personal memories, collective experiences, and conceived in different social and cultural contexts.
