Zang Huan: Blessings

PaceWildenstein

Zhang’s historicism spans both PaceWildenstein’s Chelsea spaces. At 25th Street a massive cow hide-laden installation dramatizes a child’s relation to its parent culture, and a series of engraved and poster-ed doors ponders China’s recent history from the threshold of a new era. Ash provides the principal metaphor – creating something new from the consumed hopes of the past – on 22nd Street, where scaffolding lets viewers take in the massive ash painting Canal Building. Closes 7/25.

This review will appear in the June 4 issue of The L Magazine.
