On view through June 17th, 2017 at Pilar Corrias is an exhibition entitled "Of Humdrum Moments," by Hong Kong artist Chris HUEN Sin Kan (b. 1991).

His works materialise as delicate scenes due to their subdued colours and light gestural brushstrokes.

Gunilla Klingberg’s latest exhibition [On view through May 13, 2017]  at Galerie Nordenhake takes its title from a passage in the collection of ruminative and evocative essays on cultural politics and ideologies When the Moon Waxes Red written by Vietnamese filmmaker and literary theorist Trinh T Minh - Ha. 

The statement “When stillness culminates, there is movement” connects to Klingberg’s enduring interest in themes such as transformation, energy and loops.
