From space, the planet is blue.
From space, the planet is the territory
Not of humans, but of the whale.

Blue seas cover seven-tenths of the earth’s surface,
And are the domain of the largest brain ever created,
With a fifty-million-year-old smile.

Twenty years ago I was born in Taipei to an absentee father and an artist mother. Presently I attend University in London and curate a modest art gallery. Today Gallery Xue / Taipei is joined by a sister gallery, Gallery Xue London. Both locations celebrate the work of artists who ask uncomfortable questions about art, life, and culture here in the 21t century.

Broken Obelisk, Barnett Newman, 1963

NEW YORK CITY, March 15 – This month at Gallery Xue / NYC we feature Agnes Sharple, Barnett Newman, and Vaneeesa Blaylock: three silent meditations on the ephemerality of life, hope, dreams, relationships. Three longful yearnings for some sort of transcendent, sublime peace. Spanning 49 years of sculpture and installation we are pleased to exhibit Barnett Newman’s 1963 masterpiece Broken Obelisk; Agnes Sharple’s 2011 installation Last Meal; and a new performance milieu from Vaneeesa Blaylock, Like a Prayer.

I truly live in two worlds. This ‘two world’ concept once posed too much ambiguity for me, as I felt torn as to whom I was. In maturity I have come to find it the source of my power, as I can easily move between these two places and not feel that I have to be one or the other, that I am an Indian in this modern society.

Installation view images and also images of Belinda Blignaut blowing bubbles and pressing them against walls and glass.

Last Meal

Image by photographer James Reynolds. A prison tray with the last meals, from elaborate chicken dinners, to a single olive, as requested by death row inmates.

China, America, Iran, Israel, and Ecuador are some of the places that do it.
Decapitation, electrocution, hanging, shooting, and stoning are some of the ways they do it.

Earthly Remains

Promotional image from the Gallery Xue call for entries for the art installation "Earthly Remains" Images show views of the empty coffin that participants can decorate as they'd like their "last hotel room" to be outfitted.

Like that movie ‘Citizen Kane’ where you later find out that Rosebud was a sled
