Theater of Energies: Group Exhibition with Michelle Bui at Arsenal New York

June 7 - Aug 24, 2024

McBride Contemporain is pleased to announce Michelle Bui's participation in Arsenal Contemporary New York's summer group exhibition Theater of Energies, an experimental mise-en-scène exploring the interanimation of energies in space.

 

Curated by gaoyuan, the exhibition features over thirty recent sculptures, paintings, photographs, videos, and site-specific installations by ten artists of diverse backgrounds. The exhibition invites the visitor on an immersive journey of poetic encounters that offers glimpses of the energetic flow animated by art. The exhibition unfolds in three Acts—Streams, Obsessions, Continuums—each corresponding to energetic states of equilibrium, fixity, and release. Within each Act, the focus is on the scene of impact and exchange of energies, liberating art from representation and interpretation to embrace the poetic resonance of the unknown.

 

The exhibition brings together works by Nicolas Baier (Montreal, b. 1967), Bingyi (Beijing, b. 1972), Michelle Bui (Montreal, b. 1987), Patrick Coutu (Montreal, b. 1975), Cui Fei (New York, b. 1970), Nicolas Lachance (Montreal, b. 1981), Amy Hui Li (London, b. 1997), Leah Ying Lin (New York, b. 1994), Motohiro Takeda (New York, b. 1982), Julian Zehnder (New York, b. 1995).
