[COLLABORATIONS]
Hua International has an engaging display at ART COLOGNE 2021 together with.
The gallery presents unique artists’ books that have fully returned from alternative space dedicated to artists’ books, to the gallery system. As part of the collaboration section, the Cuban-born American-based artist Rafael Domenech present an interrelated cross-section of contemporary artists’ books. The concept focuses on rare book objects, rather than books mass-produced in multiple editions for cheap and easy circulation, that are connected to Domenech’s practice.
Domenech is an interdisciplinary artist who is at the forefront of a new generation of artists that is redefining the exhibition experience. He explores notions of architecture, urban design, and contemporary material productions to develop and produce different typologies of objects and spaces, such as experimental publications -seen here- pavilions, installations, and public programs.
Learn more at ART COLOGNE until/including 21 November 2021 at Koelnmesse.
Tickets are available online only and valid for the coinciding Cologne Fine Art & Design as well.

THINGS THAT QUICKEN THE HEART
is part of GREEN GO HOME, an ongoing, collaborative project initiated by the New York based artist Tomas Vu (*1963). Put into effect in close cooperation with artistic partner Rikrit Tiravanija from the start in 2013 and others like Miguel Cardenas, Angélica Teuta or Rafael Domenech, GREEN GO HOME is a common, flexible and participative installation that has been shown worldwide at diverse art venues. The title GREEN GO HOME refers to the origin of the well know term “Gringo“, an expression used in Latin America to describe a Western foreigner. The attempt of the series is to provide a dynamic, collective contention with the subversive western politics in Latin- and South America. As Vu puts it: “The provocation inherent in GREEN GO HOME is positioned against the subtle underlying subtext of U.S. interventions, and colonialist attitudes, towards its neighbours in Latin American from Mexico southwards: an antagonism that has cost many lives and much strife.” In each installation, the meaning of the piece mutates. The characters and language are specific to the country in which the work is being shown, but more importantly, the people involved shape the piece. They help to create meaning for the piece through their experiences, reflections and interactions. The imagery itself consists of portraits derived from Google searches with text supplied by Rirkrit juxtaposed on top. The presence of each character— from films to music to personalities of resistance — reveals itself to the viewer as addressing the condition of the graffiti text. The figures included vary from country to country, though some figures reappear, as they are, at the crux of this discussion – Ted Kazynski, Alan Turing, Barbarella, Ana Mendieta. The grid holds up the statement and reinforces the layers of interpretation, readings, and misunderstandings. GREEN GO HOME is meant to be a wall of resisters, and of resistance.
The artist is represented by Hua International, who participates in ART COLOGNE COLLABORATIONS.
While this year's edition of the international art fair had to be postponed to April 2021, there will be many interesting talks and livestreams during the original November fair dates. Stay tuned and register for the newsletter via

"The exhibition is titled "Just stay in the cold” — a title that was chosen long before the coronavirus pandemic emerged. However, it could hardly be more fitting, says Hua Xiaochan, the owner of the gallery." DW Deutsche Welle reports about Tong Kunniao's Solo-exhibit at Hua International Gallery in Berlin. The article was published in both English and German.

‘A gallery is similar to a person with a complex character.’ Hua Xiaochan, founder and art director of Hua International, on establishing a gallery’s identity.
BERLIN-REVIEW: In der Ausstellung "A Year Without The Southern Sun" reflektieren neun Künstler*innen den Umgang mit menschgemachten Krisenszenarien. Justin Polera kuratiert eine herrlich verstrickte Schau, die den Klimawandel und Postkolonialismus streift und einen vagen Blick in die Kristallkugel riskiert. // XC.HuA Gallery

"A Year Without the Southern Sun" at XC.HuA Gallery makes a persuasive case: We cannot disentangle climate change from (de)colonization for they are two sides of the same coin.
The exhibition "A Year Without the Southern Sun" at XC.HuA Gallery is an intensely intellectual and engaging show that explores the links between climate change and (de)colonization.
