Tanya Leighton and White Space are delighted to present a joint open studio with Shen Han (@shenhan_studio) and Ce Jian (@cejiance) during @berlinartweek. Public reception Friday, 11 September 6–9 pm The studio will also be open by appointment, 9–13 September. Kurfürstenstraße 15/16, 10785 Berlin First courtyard, right-hand entrance Shen Han’s work blends fragmented landscapes, abstract forms, and intuitive gestures, evoking a delicate interplay between memory, emotion, and perception. Working on unprimed canvases, he explores the relationship between instinct, body, and material, allowing his gestures to guide the creation of fluid, dreamlike pictorial planes. His technique connects abstract shapes, broken lines, and saturated colours with the subconscious, inviting viewers to navigate the ambiguous tension between form and formlessness. Ce JIAN’s practice examines the visual systems that shape perception, balancing conceptual frameworks with the material unpredictability of painting. In recent years, she has developed a speculative vision of nature at the intersection of history and futurism, mythology and science, biology and robotics. Her semi-abstract non-human figures merge organic and technological forms into transformable bodies, creating fictive realities that are both analytical and materially grounded. #shenhan #cejian #berlinartweek #whitespace #tanyaleighton

​[HK ART BASEL Archive - Part 4: 21세기 서양 작가들] ▪︎​아시아 동시대 미술의 현장을 담은 세 번째 기록에 이어, 네 번째 파트는 서양 현대미술의 폭발적인 에너지를 보여주는 20명의 작가들에게 집중했습니다. 아시아 파트와는 또 다른 강렬한 물성과 파격적인 조형 언어를 만날 수 있는 섹션입니다. ▪︎​수많은 작품이 쏟아지는 페어장 한가운데서, 제 시선을 단숨에 사로잡은 건 멀리서도 눈에 확 꽂히는 첫 장의 Peggy Kuiper 작품이었습니다. 강렬한 색감에 이끌려 다가갔지만, 가만히 들여다볼수록 묘한 감정에 휩싸이게 됩니다. ▪︎​거대한 인물이 조그마한 캔버스 안에 웅크린 채 갇혀 있는 듯한 모습. 열심히 밖으로 나오려 애쓰는 것 같기도 하지만, 툭 던지는 눈빛은 이미 무언가를 체념한 듯 보입니다. 마치 관람객에게 구해달라는 구조 요청의 시선을 보냈다가, 이내 "아, 아니다"라며 시선을 회피해 버리는 것 같은 그 서늘하고 고독한 눈빛이 묘하고도 짙은 잔상을 남깁니다. ▪︎​Peggy Kuiper의 캔버스를 뚫고 나올 듯한 압도적인 시선으로 문을 열어, 이국적인 흙빛 에너지와 묵직한 조형미로 못지않게 제 발걸음을 오래 붙잡아 두었던 Hilda Palafox의 여운을 지나, 글로벌 미술 씬을 뒤흔드는 서양 작가들의 강렬한 시각적 타격감을 스와이프하며 연이어 만나보세요. ​[Western - 서양] ​Peggy Kuiper @peggy_kuiper (Cover) ​Hilda Palafox @poni ​Adrian Ghenie ​Peter Saul @peter.saul.official ​Youssra Raouchi @youssra.raouchi ​Lewis Hammond @lewislhammond ​Alex Carver @alex_h_carver ​Guillaume Devarud @guillaumedenervaud ​Mamma Andersson ​Brilant Milazimi @brilant.milazimi ​Moyna Flannigan @moynaflannigan ​Marc Desgrandchamps ​Lari Pittman ​Alice Shintani @aliceshintani ​Farida El Gazzar @farida_el_gazzar ​Rasha Omar @rasha.omar ​Jaider Esbell @jaider_esabell ​Ce Jian @cejiance ​Paola Angelini @paola_angelini_ ​Marinella Senatore @marinellasenatore_

Die Ausstellung nimmt Johann Melchior Dinglingers „Thron des Großmoguls“ als Ausgangspunkt und überträgt dessen Kontraste zwischen Vorder- und Rückseite, Ordnung und Chaos, Materialität und Imagination in die Gegenwart. Die zeitgenössischen Positionen transformieren das historische Objekt digital und beschäftigen sich mit neuen Perspektiven auf Imagination und ästhetische Erfahrung.

• YUKI OKUMURA @juki_ocumla Zenbei’s Eyeballs (Telescope ver.), 2012 HD-Video, 22 min. 13 sec., Courtesy MISAKO & ROSEN, Tokio DE Die Videoarbeit von Yuki Okumura bringt zwei Gestalten gleichen Namens in einen unerwarteten Dialog: Zum einen die Figur Zenbei aus einem japanischen Volksmärchen, deren Augen aus den Höhlen treten, um durch den Himmel zu schweifen und eine verborgene Innenwelt zu offenbaren. Zum anderen den historischen Zenbei Iwahashi, Optiker des 18. Jahrhunderts in Osaka, berühmt für seine handgefertigten Teleskope. Entstanden ist ein vielschichtiges Spiel zwischen Mythos und Wissenschaft sowie Fiktion und historischer Realität. EN Yuki Okumura’s video work brings two characters of the same name into an unexpected dialogue: on the one hand, the figure Zenbei from a Japanese folk tale, whose eyes emerge from their sockets to roam the sky and reveal a hidden inner world. The other is the historical Zenbei Iwahashi, an 18th-century optician in Osaka, famous for his handmade telescopes. The result is a multi-layered interplay between myth and science, fiction and historical reality.

• CE JIAN @cejiance DE Ce Jian erforscht die Überschneidungen von Natur, Kunst und Technologie. Ausgehend von den Formen von Muscheln und Schnecken entwickelt sie hybride Organismen, die zwischen Tier und Maschine angesiedelt sind und das Konzept des nicht-menschlichen Cyborgs beleuchten. Ihre Arbeiten greifen die Idee der historischen Wunderkammern auf, in denen natürliche Kostbarkeiten und kulturelle Artefakte nebeneinander existierten, und übertragen dieses Prinzip in einen spekulativen Raum der Zukunft. EN Ce Jian explores the intersections of nature, art and technology. Based on the forms of shells and snails, she develops hybrid organisms that are located between animal and machine and shed light on the concept of the non-human cyborg. Her works take up the idea of historical cabinets of curiosities, in which natural treasures and cultural artifacts existed side by side, and transfer this principle into a speculative space of the future.

We're pleased to share the upcoming group exhibition Displaced Becoming at Kunstpunkt Berlin @kunstpunktberlin 🌊 📍 Kunstpunkt Berlin
Schlegelstr. 6, 10115 Berlin 🗓 Opening: Thu, 7 August 2025 | 7–10 PM
📅 Exhibition: 8–24 August 2025 | Thu–Sun, 3–7 PM Displaced Becoming brings together nine Berlin-based artists of Asian heritage whose practices examine displacement not merely as physical relocation, but as an existential and cultural condition shaped by ongoing movement across borders, languages, and media. Framing dislocation as both material and method, the artists approach it as a generative site of negotiation and transformation. Through themes such as migration, hybridity, nature and supernature, and memory culture, the exhibition explores how states of in-betweenness can catalyze artistic expression. Opening during Berlin’s summer season and presented in cooperation with Kunstpunkt, Displaced Becoming offers a space of encounter and welcome—a gathering of diverse artistic voices shaped by displacement, diasporic memory, and the continual process of becoming. 🎨 Artists:
Alisi Telengut @alisitelengut 
Ce Jian @cejiance 
Hana Yoo @hanayoo.oooo 
Hyeonkyeong You @youhyeonkyeong.official
