Three years ago, Key Elements launched its Gallery—an exhibition space dedicated to amplifying the voices of emerging artists and fostering creative dialogues both online and beyond. Month by month, we have curated solo exhibitions, each showcasing not only technical mastery but also the rich cultural and conceptual diversity of today’s art landscape.

 

For each month, we invite an artist and curate a solo exhibition for them on our platform. The work we feature not only shows competency in both meaning and making but also represents the diverse cultures and backgrounds of the artist community. To this day, we have invited artists working in sculpture, design objects, print media, architecture, visual communication, fashion design, photography, and new media art. Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to more years of exploration, connection, and boundless creativity.

 

To celebrate our journey, here we present to you the Third-anniversary exhibition of Key Elements, featuring artists who had exhibitions with us over the past year: Eunice Choi, Xinyi Chen, Haoheng Tang, Ruishan wu, Yetong Xin, Eiko li, Yunan Liu, Jian Jiao

I am a very anxious person, but I have never found a way to solve my anxiety. Until I read Heidegger*, he mentioned that when we are born, we face a world that we cannot control. We can only accept what others give us in a very helpless state and can only passively obey the rules set by others. Heidegger also proposed a concept called Dasein (translated as "being-there"). As we grow up, we have to keep asking: How to find the Dasein that we lost by following the rules of others? How to solve the existential crisis caused by helplessness? My answer is: solve it in planning. Since I am anxious because I am facing a world that I cannot control, I will create a world that I can control, that is, my painting world.

Because I care most about the visual effect, I think those stories are very interesting at the conceptual level. Concepts such as concerns about the environment are definitely meaningful. But in fact, the starting point of my creation is not to say that I started from concerns about the environment and then made a form; I definitely started from my visual effects when I made the form: I just wanted to see such a colorful thing, so I made this work. This story is not completely made up. When you talk about this story, you use this work as a material for a re-creation, and then turn it into a narrative.

Ceramics making is a battle against inertia. In its natural state, clay always returns to its original form, maintaining its primal shape. Yet through a series of processes—molding, drying, firing—humans attempt to alter the form of clay and combat the inertia of time. This transformation reveals the subtle relationship between time and matter. Clay carries the ancient memory of the earth, while fired ceramics become an eternal symbol of human creation. In the world of ceramics, clay is no longer silent; it takes form as a gaze toward time, a resonance of eternity.

Conversation with
Graham Harman

Philosopher

Interview - 2024.11.06

We are thrilled to share with you that we have invited world known philosopher, professor Graham Harman, to join us for a conversation on Nov. 6th, 7PM (EST, New York/ Boston Time)!

 

Professor Harman, the founder of object-oriented ontology (OOO), will guide us in exploring a captivating topic: re-examining the relationship between objects and humans while challenging traditional anthropocentric thinking. In this conversation, we will delve into architecture and emerging technologies, particularly AI, from a philosophical perspective. How do concepts of "aesthetics" and "architecture" evolve within the current academic landscape shaped by artificial intelligence? In this rapidly changing era, Harman's insights have profoundly influenced the philosophical community and offered fresh perspectives across diverse fields, including architecture, art, and social practice.

 

This event will be live streamed, and we have invited interviewers and panels crossing different countries and time zones to join us. Please click the link of RSVP to add the events to your calendar!
