Centre A announced its next exhibition, Butterfly Dreams by David Khang
From early experiments inspired by La Monte Young’s Compositions 1960 to his striking performances in Los Angeles and Mexico, this exhibition showcases Khang’s exploration with the Monarch butterflies over two decades, weaving together performance, sculpture, and photography. Khang often produces work that brings together incongruous and dissonant elements. While the Monarch butterfly is universally viewed as a signifier of beauty, military signifiers are inextricably woven into Khang’s works alongside the butterfly motif, intended to evoke an unsettled reception. Khang believes that formal aesthetics and beauty, without context, separate and elevate art above the everyday; site-specific or site-responsive art practice embeds itself and lays bare the political, social, and cultural context of the everyday from which the art is produced.
