Press Release
Shu Lea Cheang survey exhibition “KI$$ KI$$” takes the taiwanese-american net artist and filmmaker’s first feature film, Fresh Kill (1994), as a starting point to present the artist’s world-building practices. In three landscape formations, the exhibition combines updated and previously unrealised works and goes beyond the execution of individual objects. The internet-based installation, software interaction, and multiplayer performance invite the audience to explore and to play. Play as a form of embodied knowledge will become a theme for 2025, following the experiences of Fujiko Nakaya’s “Nebel Leben,” the group exhibition “Inside Other Spaces,” as well as “Voices” by Philippe Parreno.
“KI$$ KI$$” reimagines the exhibition as a transformative journey orma “machine of experience.” From a different angle, but in dialogue with Parreno, Shu Lea Cheang’s daring science fiction narratives centre on non-human intelligences (both natural and artificial). Engaging with new and ancient technologies, the exhibition continues Haus der Kunst’s engagement with contemporary and emerging media, following exhibitions by Dumb Type, Tony Cokes, and WangShui.
Curated by Sarah Theurer with Laila Wu.
