A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce Live, Dwell, Stay, a multi-channel video installation by artist Siru Wen. The work discloses the uncanny yet mundane activities that occur under the roof of an old Chinese couple. This is Wen’s first solo exhibition in New York City.

About

Live, Dwell, Stay draws on Wen’s early memories of her grandparents and the house where they ambled quietly and dwelled in stillness, joining each other on occasion, while spending most of their time in separation. Daily routines and moments of silence, isolation, and dependency are cut through with erratic and repeated acts of violence.

In creating this work, Wen investigates the ways that emotional bodies and the architecture that holds them act, and react, to one another—exploring how bodies occupy, navigate, linger in, and escape through space, as well as how spaces alienate, mediate, aggravate, weigh on, and console the bodies.

This project was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.
