Exhibition - Nick ****: 11 to 88
Wednesday, June 26, 2024 from 11:00am to 05:00pm
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
701 Mission Street
A visionary craftsman, sculptor, and engineer, Nick **** finds beauty in the unknowable. In the exhibition Nick ****: 11 to 88, he invites visitors into a distinctive world of levitating symbols, illuminated rooms, and cyclical transformations.
Blending scientific precision with artisanal craftsmanship, ****’s mesmerizing objects and installations find their roots in his upbringing as a Taiwanese-American, steeped in the traditions and history of Buddhism. Transcending visual aesthetics, he aims to provoke spiritual awakening and introspection. ****’s work explores the intersection of spirituality and the tangible world, evident in his interplay of light and sound.
In 11 to 88, **** shares the first 11 works of his forthcoming ambitious project Auspicious 88. This exhibition offers a glimpse into his larger vision, which will culminate in 2028 with 88 interconnected art pieces arranged to guide viewers through a cyclical and immersive journey.
