More about Making Things Happen with Boris Chouvellon & Mengzhi Zheng
During this edition of Making Things Happen, the artwork is surprisingly literal and disruptive. Both artists work is sculptural but blurs the distinction between image and construct. Both artists work with urban references and impulses that we all have as an urbanized species. The exposition has an interesting layout that challenges its visitors. Is there a connection and if so, how do all the sculptures connect?
