Chin Tsao – Handspells. Preis der Kunsthalle Wien 2021

In the exhibition Handspells, Chin Tsao shows several sculptural works as well as a video installation and a photograph. The sculptures refer to both the contexts of chinoiserie and Art Deco, moments of cultural exchange between Europe and the Far East in the 18th century. With her video work, the artist tries to find a new perspective on the complex relations between technology, culture, economy, and the body, which make our current techno-culture.
