To kick off the new year, MIYAKO YOSHINAGA is pleased to present Coexistence, an online-exclusive exhibition featuring landscapes by four gallery artists: Jonathan Yukio Clark, Koyoltzintli, Lisa Ross, and Hai Zhang. From documenting villages on the Hawaiian coast and the indigenous cultures in New Mexico to witnessing children at the winery near Helen Mountains and the Uyghur Region surrounding the Taklamakan Desert of China. This exhibition threads through each artist’s unique cultural perspective on the interconnections between the civil and natural world. These works disintegrate the barriers between nature and city, documenting their coexisting relationship across cultures and continents, and investigating our universally physical yet ephemeral footprints on the Mother Land.
Seeing dislocated furniture in the exterior shatters the conventional perception of civil space and urban life. Hai Zhang’s Utopia, February 2006 documents a couch left off on Highway 231 near Troy, Alabama, whereas Lisa Ross’ Ancient Tree with Bed witnesses the unique tradition of Turpan farmers sleeping in barren hills during harvesting season. The absence of human figures in both Zhang and Ross’ images calls upon the pursuit of harmonious association and reassessing the boundaries of interior and exterior spaces between civilization and the natural environment.
