Wu Chi-Tsung: Synchronicity Dates July 9 -October 1, 2023 Artist Talk July 9 14:00 – 15:00Venue 134 Jay Street, Katonah, NY 10536 The Katonah Museum of Art (KMA) presents Wu Chi-Tsung: Synchronicity, which marks Chi-Tsung’s first solo museum exhibition. The exhibition will focus on the artist’s most recent body of work, his Cyano-Collage Series, that seamlessly incorporates Eastern aesthetics with collage and photographic processes to create sublime reinterpretations of traditional Chinese Shan Shui (mountain-water) landscape paintings. A meditative video installation in the main galleries and an immersive installation in the project gallery will provide further examples of Wu’s diverse and innovative practice. On July 9, Wu Chi-Tsung will join KMA Executive Director Michelle Yin Mapplethorpe for an in-depth discussion on his dynamic and interdisciplinary practice.  The Katonah Museum of Art is a non-collecting institution geared towards visual arts, located in Katonah, New York. From its inception, the KMA was committed to presenting exceptional art from all cultures and time periods. The founders’ decision to be a non-collecting institution resulted in a dynamic and flexible exhibition program, which remains one of the most distinctive features of the Museum.  In November, after the successful closing of his first institutional solo show in the US at the Katonah Museum of Art, Wu Chi-Tsung has donated his Cyano-Collage 179 to the Katonah museum for its annual live benefit auction that supports for the Museum’s acclaimed exhibitions, educational programs, and forward-thinking initiatives.  吳季璁：Synchronicity日期 2023年7月9日 – 10月1日 藝術家講演  2023年7月9日14:00 – 15:00地址 134 Jay Street, Katonah, NY 10536 卡托納美術館（KMA）呈獻「吳季璁：Synchronicity」，這標誌了吳季璁的首次美術館個展。本次展覽將聚焦於吳季璁的《氰山集》系列新作，介紹藝術家將東方美學與拼貼、攝影技術進行無縫接合的創作方式，從而呈現藝術家對於傳統中國書畫進行的突破性的再詮釋。此外，展覽還將展出《煙林圖系列》等沈浸式影像裝置，呈現吳季璁多樣而創新的藝術實踐。7月9日，吳季璁將與美術館館長Michelle Yin Mapplethorpe進行對談，分享其充滿活力的跨學科創作。 卡托納美術館是位於紐約州卡托納的一個以視覺藝術為主的藝術機構。從成立之初，KMA 就致力於呈現來自各種文化和時期的傑出藝術。其非收藏機構的特性也令美術館充滿活力、擁有靈活的展覽計劃，是該博物館最獨特的亮點之一。 十一月，在卡托納美術館個展順利閉幕後，吳季璁將《氰山集之一百七十九》捐贈給該博物館，作為其年度現場慈善拍賣的拍品。這項拍賣活動旨在支持博物館的優秀展覽、教育計劃和前瞻性活動。  Installation Views 展覽現場 Artist Talk 藝術家對談

Since then, the work has been exhibited in Germany, Luxembourg and the U.S.. It features a real-time streaming of the reflection of the circulation of dust particles moving in the room. As viewers progress through the space, disrupting the flow of air, the images of flickering dust change constantly and instantaneously creating a captivating relationship between artist and viewer, technology, and chance. Dust not only reorients us to the small beauties of the world but demonstrates our fundamental inability to perceive these phenomena without, in turn, affecting them. 巴塞爾藝術展「意象無限」單元尚凱利畫廊 | Booth U59VIP預覽 2023年6月12日公眾展期 2023年6月15-18日會場 Messe Basel Messeplatz 10 4058 Basel Switzerland 本週，影像裝置《灰塵002》與《氰山集》系列新作將於巴塞爾藝術展「意象無限」單元的尚凱利畫廊展位展出。「意象無限」單元集中呈現超越傳統藝術展覽的藝術作品，包括大型雕塑、繪畫、影片投影、裝置藝術和現場表演等。 2006年，《灰塵》由吳季璁在塞特藝廊的駐留期間創作並首次展出，並在此後於德國、盧森堡和美國展出。它捕捉了塵埃於空間中的遊移並將其實時投影於銀幕。當觀者穿越空間，干擾空氣流動時，閃爍的塵埃影像會不斷地變化，創造一種藝術家和觀眾、技術和機會之間迷人的關係。《塵埃》不僅重新導向我們關注世界上細微而美麗的事物，也向我們揭示了我們本質上無法在不影響這些事物的條件下感知它們。

Summoning Memories: Art Beyond Chinese TraditionsExhibition Period February 10, 2023 – July 2, 2023Venue 1370 Southmore Blvd. Houston, TX Wrinkled Texture 113 is featured in Asia Society Huston’s recent group exhibition “Summoning Memories: Art Beyond Chinese Traditions”. Curated by guest curator Dr. Susan L. Beningson, the exhibition highlights works by over 30 contemporary artists of Chinese descent who reinterpret traditions in dynamic and innovative ways.  Across painting, sculpture, and photography, these works were created by both established and emerging artists of different generations who use experimentation to draw on both Eastern and Western art-making practices and materials.The Asia Society’s is a global non-profit organization whose purpose is to navigate shared futures for Asia and the world across policy, arts and culture, education, sustainability, business, and technology. Curator Susan L. Beningson stated, In his Cyano-Collage series, Wu Chi-Tsung explores the essence of Chinese ink landscape painting, moving beyond the brush to utilize innovative new materials and techniques. To create these evocative landscapes, Wu prepares layers of cyanotype photographic papers, a method used since the mid-1800s. He treats the xuan paper, the material used in traditional Chinese ink landscapes, with a photosensitive coating. The multiple pieces of paper are crumpled, exposed to sunlight, and then mounted into collaged images that resemble the craggy mountain peaks of traditional Chinese ink shan shui (mountain and water) landscape painting – thus creating ink landscapes without the ink. Wu replaces the traditional materials of ink and brush with experimental photography in order to reinvent the process. Wu has said that his landscapes resist any fixed reading: “They could be anything, because they are not representing any real landscape. This is the spirit of a Chinese landscape.. The best works always come from some kind of coincidence… Most artists have a strong ego. We try to control our work. But the more you try to control it, the more likely you lose the possibility. Let the work grow in the way it should.” 召喚記憶：超越傳統的中國當代藝術日期  2023年2月10日至7月2日地點 1370 Southmore Blvd. Houston, TX 《皴法習作113》正於亞洲協會休士頓分會最近的群展《召喚記憶：超越中國傳統的藝術》中展出。本展由客座策展人Susan L. Beningson博士策劃，集中呈現了三十餘位華裔藝術家的當代藝術作品。作品涵蓋繪畫、雕塑、攝影等類別，均實驗著結合東方與西方的藝術傳統與材料，以創新的方式重新詮釋著傳統。亞洲協會總部位於紐約，是美國一個非牟利組織，創辦宗旨是向世界傳播亞洲文化。 策展人Susan L. Beningson介紹道，「在《氰山集》系列中，吳季璁探索了中國水墨山水畫的本質，運用創新的材料和技術超越了傳統筆觸。為了創造這些意境深遠的山水畫，他使用光敏劑處理宣紙，這是傳統中國水墨山水畫所使用的材料。這些宣紙被揉皺，曝露在陽光下，然後拼貼成山峰嶙峋的山水圖像，與傳統中國水墨山水畫頗為神似。吳季璁用實驗攝影取代了傳統的墨水和筆觸，他不用墨水便創造出了水墨山水對傳統書畫進行了當代的重新詮釋。藝術家表示，他的山水畫抵抗任何固定的解讀『它們可以是任何東西，因為它們不代表任何真實的風景。這就是中國山水畫的精神。最好的作品總是來自某種隨機性…大多數藝術家都有很強的自我。我們試圖控制自己的作品。但是你越想控制它，你就越有可能失去可能性。讓作品按照它應有的方式成長』。」

Chi-Tsung introduces, “there is another invisible world in which we live every day. It is made up of electronic equipment, programs, networks, media and information, and I call it ‘Crystal City’… It is becoming our new spiritual home in the contemporary world” 第九屆深港雙城雙年展龍華分展場  —「經緯之間」 展覽日期：2022年12月30日至2023年3月30日 地點：深圳市龍華區大浪時尚小鎮 第九屆深港城市 \ 建築雙城雙年展（深圳）龍華分展場「經緯之間」展期由即日至2023年3月30日，藝術家吳季璁獲邀參與展覽。創立自2005年，雙年展旨在為深圳及香港兩地提供平台，以當代視覺文化呈現及探討全球普遍存在的城市問題。本屆雙年展的龍華分展場由楊勇及紀浩如策展，三個月的展期將聯動多個時尚集團舉辦多場文化藝術活動，包括工作坊、行走、共創、論壇、放映、快閃、企業館主題展覽等，呼應可持續的概念，製造沉浸式的藝術現場體驗，通過展覽搭建起城市與公眾之間的溝通橋樑。 作品由若干透明的塑膠盒子組成，在移動光源的照射下，其投影仿若城市中的摩天大樓。在這裡，塑膠盒廉價的工業材料提示著現實世界，而投影的世界則將人帶入想像的疆界。季璁介紹稱，「有另一個不可見的世界，但我們每日生活其中，它是由電子設備、程式、網絡、媒體、訊息所構築，我稱之為《水晶城市》⋯⋯那裡是我們精神的寓所。」

Stand BA04, Galerie du MondeVIP preview days Jan 11, 2023Public days Jan 12-15, 2023Venue  Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore Presented by Galerie du Monde, Wu Chi-Tsung’s new works will be shown at the inaugural edition of Art SG. Founded by The Art Assembly, an affiliation of major international art fairs with a particular focus on the Asia Pacific region comprising Taipei Dangdai, India Art Fair, PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai and the forthcoming Tokyo Gendai, the new international art fair will feature over 150 of the world’s leading galleries, from Singapore and across the globe. Art SG offers a meeting point in Southeast Asia for collectors from the region and beyond to convene and engage with one of the world’s most dynamic cultural landscapes. Among the new works from the Cyano-Collage Series and the Wrinkled Texture Series specially created for the new fair, it is noteworthy that the Wrinkled Texture – Folding Screen 002 marks the artist’s first attempt to compose on a traditional folding screen. The series applies the classic cyanotype technique to xuan paper. During this process, the artist treats xuan paper with a photosensitive coating that is then crumpled and exposed to sunlight, revealing images that bring to mind the mountainous landscapes often found in Chinese shan shui paintings. Folding Screen 002 was created amidst continuous rain where light, the key catalyst, was insufficient. The artist adjusted the exposure under the low light conditions and eventually achieved the delicate and subtle palette seen in this work. Galerie du Monde, BA04展位VIP預覽 2023年1月11日公眾開放 2023年1月12~15日地址 金沙會展中心, 海灣道10號, 新加坡 本週，世界畫廊將攜吳季璁《氰山集》及《皴法習作》系列新作亮相首屆新加坡國際藝術博覽會（Art SG）。藝博會由旗下包括台北當代、印度藝術博覽會、影像上海藝術博覽會及東京現代等國際藝博會的The Art Assembly聯手瑞銀集團呈現，將匯聚來自全球30個地區逾150間全球頂級世界畫廊，為東南亞及世界各地的藏家提供了齊聚一堂的機會，共賞世界上最有活力的文化景觀。 本次值得注目的新作《皴法習作 屏風之二》是吳季璁首次嘗試於大尺幅日式屏風上進行創作。該系列作品使用氰版攝影法之原理，將感光材料塗佈於宣紙上，在陽光下曝曬，過程中不斷調整重塑紙張的皺折，而後水洗定影而形成宛若山巒般的「筆觸」，對於光照有著相當敏感的需求。而本次製作過程中，藝術家在陰雨連綿、光線不足的條件下摸索曝光技巧，最終呈現出淡雅細膩而幽微的色調。
