David Zwirner’s Art Beyond Border(line)

Description

Border(line) at David Zwirner in Hong Kong gathers artists from around the world to explore the concept of borders.

A key part of the group exhibition is a seminal video work Painting/Retoque (2008) by the Belgian-born, Mexico-based artist Francis Alÿs. The piece showcases how the artist repaints the fading median strips of a road that crosses the Panama Canal to underscore the changing and arbitrary nature of boundaries. 

The exhibition also includes additional works by Josef Albers, Raoul De Keyser and Félix González-Torres, all of whom explore the idea of frames, horizons and boundaries from cross-generational and transcultural perspectives. Contemporary artists with diverse creative practices from Hong Kong, China and across Asia are also invited to the event, further expanding the concept of borders.
