A Duo Exhibition Exploring the Intersection of Craft, Code, and Control
Art+ Shanghai Gallery is pleased to announce "Hand, Grid, Interface," a duo exhibition featuring Liu Dao Collective and Sabrina J. that examines three interconnected systems through which contemporary art mediates control and freedom.
The exhibition proposes that the hand, the grid, and the interface are not separate tools but overlapping frameworks, each bridging embodied gesture and structural logic, material spontaneity and systematic order.
Sabrina J. presents two distinct bodies of work. "Excavating Abstractions" features lattices of thread crossing painterly fields where vermilion and coral vibrate against cool greys, violets, and sea greens. The grid functions as a permeable boundary between structure and sensation, with surface incidents preserved as evidence of the hand's presence. Her second series, "Gravity," showcases handwoven panels from which hundreds of threads cascade freely, establishing a tension between control and organic movement.
Liu Dao Collective extends the vocabulary of the grid-as-interface into screen culture, composing systems from code, light, and narrative that are simultaneously playful and deliberate. Working in a cinematic mode that credits developers, performers, editors, and designers, the collective emphasizes collaborative authorship. Their works move between printed pages and video, creating interactive tableaux where tradition and domesticity meet pop saturation and technological spectacle.
