Yuyang Zhang: everything makes me unconscious
Opening Reception: Thu, Jun 4 from 5 - 9 PM
Artist Talk: Thu, Jun 25 at 6 PM
everything makes me unconscious features recent paintings that transform pop culture ephemera and internet brainrot into campy, queer melodramas. Drawing from my lived experience as a queer Chinese artist, I create work that parodies American spectacle and fantasy while revealing the contradictions that shape the reality of the contemporary United States.
Nine Gallery was founded in 1987 by nine artists interested in working periodically outside the context of the commercial gallery. It is an artist-run cooperative and is administratively and financially independent from Blue Sky, funded solely by its members. Each member of Nine Gallery is in charge of the gallery for one month each year. Usually members show their own work, however, they are also welcome to curate shows of other artists’ work. Periodically the members of Nine Gallery, present work together in group exhibitions, and at other times they collectively invite other artists to show. Beyond the general interest in creating a largely non-commercial exhibition environment with a minimum of bureaucratic and institutional structure, the members of Nine Gallery have no collective ideological program or philosophy.
