Independent Collectors

Featuring works predominantly from the M WOODS Collection and curated by co-founder Michael Xufu Huang, the exhibition includes virtual reality, digital mechanics, and interactive works to stimulate our senses of sight, smell, touch, and sound, and to register emotion within a contemporary world increasingly governed by algorithms, measurements, and marketing, featuring works from Ryan Gander, Yngve Holen, Austin Lee, Liu Wa, Sean Raspet, Pamela Rosenkranz, Amalia Ulman, Gillian Wearing, and Yangzi to name a few.

Here, we share installation views from the exhibition “Heart of the Tin Man”.
