The Rockbund Art Museum (RAM), Shanghai, is proud to present poiesis, the first museum solo exhibition by the New York-based artist WangShui. This project is the first show at the museum since the end of the zero-COVID policy in China and will also relaunch the RAM under the new Artistic Director, X Zhu-Nowell.
Known for their technically complex yet ethereal works, WangShui blends poetics and cybernetics in multilayered paintings, installations, and video. Titled after the Greek word poiesis, meaning "to bring something into being," this exhibition expands upon WangShui's artistic research into alternative modes of collaboration and unexpected ways of "integrating different agents," in the words of the artist.
