How it’s Going : Hyangmok Baik, Andy Dixon, Delphine Hennelly, Pedro Pedro, Sergio Roger, Kyle Staver, Yongqi Tang

To celebrate its new collaboration with Canadian-born California artist Andy Dixon, 193 Gallery is thrilled to announce the group show How It’s Going, designed and curated by the artist.
The exhibition addresses a key theme in Andy Dixon's work: the appropriation and transformation of images from elite culture by the luxury and entertainment industries. The title How It’s Going refers to the well-known meme “how It started / how it’s going”, widely shared on social media, which humorously depicts a before-and-after scenario and illustrates the diffusion of images and ideas in the digital age.
For this exhibition, Dixon has brought together eight internationally renowned artists whose paintings and sculptures, often imbued with humor, reinterpret masterpieces from art history: Hyangmok Baik, Delphine Hennelly, Thrush Holmes, Annie Lapin, Pedro Pedro, Sergio Roger, Kyle Staver, and Yongqi Tang. The exhibition invites the public to reflect on how contemporary art draws from the past and, more generally, on the persistence of certain representations through the ages.
 
Opening on Tuesday, November 5th, from 6pm to 9pm.
