Description
Candice Lin's A Hard White Body is an evolving project that weaves together material and nonhuman histories with the lives and work of three historical figures. Porcelain, a material with a complex history of imperial and scientific uses, plays a central role in Lin's exploration of fantasies surrounding whiteness and purity. Lin subjects her porcelain assemblages to organic materials, creating an unstable sculptural ecosystem that stages processes of contamination between organic and inorganic materials. This publication features essays by curator Lotte Arndt, artist Candice Lin, and others, alongside a visual essay and exhibition views. A Hard White Body offers a unique perspective on the intersections of art, history, and culture, inviting readers to consider the complexities of materiality and identity.
