New Eden: Science Fiction Mythologies Transformed offers fresh insights on science fiction, a genre built on envisioning alternative futures and imaginary realms. The lines connecting science fiction with Asian philosophy and mythologies are brought to light through the work of twenty-four Asian women artists and collectives.


The exhibition is organised into eight chapters that feature contemporary artworks, historical artefacts and films from both Asia and the West. Adopting Western science fiction paradigms, such as parallel worlds and interdimensional travel, as a starting point, New Eden explores science fiction’s possible roots in Asian philosophy and spirituality. Themes such as hybridity, mysticism, transcendence and other-worldly utopias, which are found in both fields, seem to point to cultural traditions in Asia.


As diverse voices gain prominence, the traditionally male-dominated genre of science fiction is slowly evolving. But rarely is science fiction approached from the perspective of Asia and through the work of women. Moving seamlessly between ancient mythology, contemporary art and post-modern cinema, this exhibition celebrates the dream worlds, futuristic visions and fantastical realities envisaged by Asian artists, showcasing women and alternative voices who are calling for a more inclusive future.


Curated by Gail Chin, Joel Chin, Adrian George and Honor Harger.

New Eden: Science Fiction Mythologies Transformed offre nuovi spunti sulla fantascienza, un genere costruito sulla visione di futuri alternativi e regni immaginari. Le linee che collegano la fantascienza con la filosofia e le mitologie asiatiche vengono portate alla luce attraverso il lavoro di ventiquattro artiste e collettivi asiatici.


La mostra è organizzata in otto capitoli che presentano opere d'arte contemporanee, manufatti storici e film provenienti sia dall'Asia che dall'Occidente. Adottando i paradigmi della fantascienza occidentale, come i mondi paralleli e i viaggi interdimensionali, come punto di partenza, New Eden esplora le possibili radici della fantascienza nella filosofia e nella spiritualità asiatiche. Temi come l'ibridità, il misticismo, la trascendenza e le utopie ultraterrene, che si trovano in entrambi i campi, sembrano indicare tradizioni culturali in Asia.


Man mano che voci diverse acquistano importanza, il genere della fantascienza, tradizionalmente dominato dagli uomini, si sta lentamente evolvendo. Ma raramente la fantascienza viene affrontata dalla prospettiva dell’Asia e attraverso il lavoro delle donne. Muovendosi senza soluzione di continuità tra mitologia antica, arte contemporanea e cinema postmoderno, questa mostra celebra i mondi dei sogni, le visioni futuristiche e le realtà fantastiche immaginate dagli artisti asiatici, mettendo in mostra donne e voci alternative che chiedono un futuro più inclusivo.

Haines Gallery, David Nash Opening : Friday November 3, 2023

David Nash:
Wildwood
Opening Reception: Friday, November 3 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
David Nash, Oak Mountains, 2021
Haines Gallery presents Wildwood, an exhibition by the acclaimed UK artist David Nash, featuring sculptures and works on paper that explore the nature of place and our relation­ship to the larger landscape.

Wildwood includes a selection of standing and wall-hung sculptures of carved and charred wood, created from fallen beech, oak, and redwood trees. Working with industrial tools such as the chainsaw, ax, and blowtorch, Nash teases out the inherent form and behavior of unseasoned wood, allowing its natural qualities to inform the final shape of his works. Within an intimate exhibition space, Wildwood provides an opportunity for viewers to contemplate natural forms and phenomena, and reminds us of the beauty and elegance found in the outdoor environment.

Exhibition Dates: November 3, 2023 - January 6, 2024
