Guan Xiao: Fiction Archive Project

Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis
January 18 - April 21, 2019
The speed, accessibility, and quantity of data we consume via the internet has transformed our relationships to images, objects, and ideas. Guan Xiao explores the impact of the internet on our lives by using it as a tool of exploration. Through sculpture and multichannel videos, Xiao translates ready-made digital images into physical compositions, merging opposing objects and collapsing juxtapositions. 

Guan Xiao: Fiction Archive Project is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Wassan Al-Khudhairi, Chief Curator, with Misa Jeffereis, Assistant Curator.
