MACHINE - LEAH KE YI ZHENG. I-CHING
@MENDES WOOD DM - NEW YORK 17 JAN - 01 MAR, 2025 Mendes Wood DM is pleased to announce Leah Ke Yi Zheng’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, following our representation announcement for the Chinese-born, Chicago-based artist. The exhibition occupies both the ground floor and lower level of our Tribeca gallery and consists of twelve new works painted on silk stretched over natural wood stretchers. Each painting, to varying degrees, veers away from the orthogonal to achieve an uncanny and irregular shape. Additionally, Zheng will debut an hand-painted video work to accompany the exhibition. The ground floor gallery is dedicated to the representation of I-Ching hexagrams, each painting corresponding to a different aspect of our universe, such as power, limitation, clarity, or balance.

The late Jaan Poldaas (1948-2018) was a paradigmatic figure in the field of conceptual art. Known for his precision and rigor, color has been the hallmark of his unique practice from early on.

ECTOPLASM - HENRY ROUNDTRIP MARTON NEWMAN
@RIVERSIDE PARK SOUTH, MANHATTAN
28 SEPT, 2024 - 03 SEPT, 2025
Consisting of clear acrylic panels etched with life-sized silhouetted figures set within an architectural steel frame, Ectoplasm seeks to mediate the divide between public and private grief—offering an opportunity to reflect on our shared melancholia. The structure abstracts the city and renders it transparent. As the sun moves across the sky, shadowy reflections of the figures are cast, reforming and disappearing with the sun. Through the sculpture, the divides between interior and exterior, material and immaterial, gone and present, are blurred. The Works in Public (WiP) program, formerly known as Model to Monument, is a professional development program that was begun in 2010 in partnership with NYC Parks’ Art in the Parks program. This exhibition is presented by the Art Students League of New York and the Riverside Park Conservancy. Discover more
