Ian Cheng

The Real Humans exhibition presents works by Ian Cheng, Wu Tsang, and Jordan Wolfson, three young American artists, who each, in their own way, reflect on the conditions of what it means to be a human being in their multimedia pieces. Each of them takes on a different perspective, examining socio-cultural, biological, economic or psychological structures into which the human being is integrated and which he participates in generating or even changing. Insofar as the artists have a space of their own to present their works, the exhibition format allows for an “experience space” for singular encounters as well as linkages between the three positions. Real Humans represents Wu Tsang’s and Ian Cheng’s first institutional exhibition in Germany, and both artists have developed new works for this show. Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Photos: Achim Kukulies
