we [ breathe ] in the space between | Group show curated by CSM Curating Students | ASC MIR Project Space
we in the space between presents new work by 12 emerging artists, including two awardees of this year’s Bloomberg New Contemporaries (Ben Yau and Camille Yvert). Though many are recent graduates, the participating artists have shown globally in venues including K11 and Para Site in Hong Kong; Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art, Beijing; OCAT, Shenzhen; Power Station of Art, Shanghai.
Newly commissioned and site-specific works include an intervention into the earth of the police station’s garden by James Bryant; an outdoor concrete sculpture by Kathryn Graham; and a new photographic series by Queenie Li, exploring the parallels between the Former Rotherhithe Police Station and its colonial antecedent, Taikwun in Hong Kong – also a former police station that has been transformed into an art space.

More »Faint Young Suns | John Bunker | Unit 3 Projects
Bunker’s latest outing, ‘Faint Young Suns’, takes its name from Cosmologist's slang for stars that are still growing- gradually increasing their individual quality of light energy- a light that will carve out the destiny of their evolving solar systems. Bunker sees a parallel with his changing approach to making paintings. The elegant tonal arrangements of found materials for which Bunker is known have taken a back seat. Now, it seems, Bunker is working more with paint and treating colour like a raw and unstable energy. By forcing ever more densely packed fragments of paint together, it's almost as though a kind of visual equivalent to atomic fission is being sought out. Each artwork seems to be a gathering up of contrasting colour forces, cued to engender a chain reaction, and in the process, exuding a new kind of painterly energy.
