Alfredo Aceto has been nominated for the Swiss Art Award 2026 in Basel.

The presentation brings together a new series of lamp sculptures and the film Dsquared2Wasp , offering insight into Alfredo Aceto’s interest in the psychological and social
construction of domestic and rural space.

Distributed throughout the exhibition space, five lamps assemble oil and gasoline containers with domestic lampshades. Produced from recipients associated with engines and fuel, the sculptures
combine mechanical and domestic vocabularies. Their materials originate from environments tied to labour and masculine culture, while the lampshades evoke intimacy and decoration.

Decoration and ornament have traditionally been relegated to the domestic sphere, historically
coded as feminine within patriarchal systems. For Aceto, questioning structures of oppression and power can also involve subverting these inherited visual and social hierarchies. The sculptures are rooted in memories connected to Moncalieri, Italy, where Aceto spent his childhood and adolescence isolated within an agricultural environment, where forms of emancipation, sexuality and fantasy were deeply constrained.

Opening Monday June 15th the two-artist presentation at LISTE 2026, Booth 64, featuring the Italian-born
and Swiss-based artist Alfredo Aceto in dialogue with the Chinese artist Shi Yi. Approaching
Craig Owens’ notion of allegory, the two artists investigate questions of masculinity and
hegemonic culture. In line with Hua International’s dedication to working with emerging and
underrepresented artists, the presentation centers peripheral and marginalized experience.
A selection from the series Tongue Twister is shown on the right-hand side of the booth. In
it, tongues, and other objects of the (non-)intact masculine body, appear in an attempt to
explore the construction of stereotypical identities. Bocca con Matita
confronts the body by placing a pencil in partly opened lips and replacing one form of
expression, speech, with another, the touch of an object used to write. Aceto unearthed a selection of archival images from an unknown watch designer in Geneva, the global capital of such objects. This collection of around a hundred documents forms the foundation of the exhibition. They are scanned and modified by the artist and like their rough alterations, they embody a narrative of failure. Shi Yi will be presented to a European audience for the first time. It will also be his first
participation in an international art fair, in line with Hua International’s foundational
commitment to foregrounding marginal experiences. Exhibited opposite Alfredo Aceto’s
works, Shi Yi’s paintings draw inspiration from both the traditional painting traditions of his
hometown, Chaozhou, and Western, particularly Italian, art historical motifs.

At Beijing Dangdai Art Fair 2026, Hua International is proud to present the artist collective CFGNY at Booth A4.

Based in New York, CFGNY explores the intersections of Asian diasporic identity, queerness, and the power of collective production. In their works “American Construction Study: Fragment I and “Four Vases, Cardboard, Shirt (Doubled)” the collective utilizes a combination of porcelain sculptures, architectural cardboard fragments, and low-fidelity reproductions of American pastoral landscape paintings to deconstruct historical colonial domesticity and modern consumer culture.

As Talia Heiman notes, CFGNY positions the manufacture of knock-offs “not as an attempt to copy an original source, but rather as a process that is always altering, a collective act of replication that adds new meanings with each shift.”

Now open “When Clouds are Floating White as Swans”, Jinbin Chen’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

The title is taken from the opening line of a poem by the Latvian poet Eduards Veidenbaums (1867–1892), whose verses begin in romantic longing, clouds like swans, roses that never decay, before turning sharply on themselves: “Chuck your hope into the dark of the grave / We’ll never stroll in those sunny parts / In a tear-drenched swamp we live and slave.” The movement from romantic escape to the acknowledgement of a brutal real is also the movement of Chen’s exhibition. His works hold both impulses without resolving them: “All my works carry softness, but there is also alienation in them. I want the exhibition to become something in between or wandering between them.”

on view until June 27, 2026
at Hua International Berlin

The exhibition takes its title from a poem by Rosamond S. King, in which the gesture of breathing is held suspended between contraction and expansion, between inhalation and release. It is in this interval, this in-between, that the works of Qiu Ruixiang and Peter Welz find their common ground and their difference: where Qiu withholds and compresses, turning the gaze inward, Welz releases and dilates, projecting fragments outward until they constitute new worlds

Join us this Saturday, March 14th for the opening of our new exhibition „Time Is the Thing a Body Moves Through“, at our Beijing location.

“We’re investigating the language of the present from the perspective of the utopic, which is an exploration of difference, and the only way we can find to this language takes us through each other.”
— T Fleishman

The exhibition Time is the Thing a Body Moves Through, titled after the novel by T Fleischmann, a reflective work about art, embodiment, and how perception unfolds across time, brings together Yuan Ming and Chen Dandizi, whose paintings, videos, and watercolours share an attention to fragile images, quiet gestures, and suspended states of perception. Across these works, images appear as fragments that invite the viewer to slow their gaze and experience time not as narrative or explanation but as something the body itself gradually moves through.

Alibi
At the centre of each composition sits a closed red box, lacquered but mostly silent. The object reads immediately as a jewellery case, but what it ought to contain is absent: the jewel is gone, not shown or perhaps never even existed. Yuan Ming elevates these empty containers into subjects in their own right, creating a tension between interior and exterior, between the promise of something precious and the void it conceals. In these sites of reflection, the artist removes the objects of desire to reveal a deeper exploration of value, identity, and aspiration, while the works highlight the tension between exclusivity and accessibility, desire and imitation, subtly commenting on class, consumption, and aestheticised identity. The title Alibi introduces a legal and identity-related dimension that acts like a proof of presence elsewhere and the trace of a meaningful absence. One interpretation is that the closed box becomes a symbol of a locked interiority, a subjectivity to which access is denied, a gesture that also operates as a critique of the orientalist gaze that objectifies Asian women, reducing them to appearances and attributes.
