Artists Elmgreen & Dragset’s share The Hive, a new and permanent installation affixed to the ceiling of Moynihan Train Hall in New York City’s Pennsylvania Station, the busiest transportation hub in North America. The work is based on “City in the Sky” installation on the view at Gallery Perrotin.
Both City in the Sky and The Hive — produced only one year apart — manifest an imaginary city in the form of a scaled model, installed upside-down. With technological precision, this cityscape captures the multiplicity and synergy of the world’s metropolises. It is a kaleidoscopic installation, consisting of a dense network of illuminated skyscrapers and modern tower buildings, both real and fictional.

“"Sculptor Tung Ming-Chin carves wood into figurative shapes that seem to press against the surface of the finished work. In “Inner Turmoil” a face and hands are trapped inside a hunk of wood that has the smooth, stretched appearance of fabric, and in “Breath”, the rounded spine and feet of a crouched figure expand outside the confines of a stiff white box. Tung was born in Changhua, Taiwan, and received both his BFA and MFA from Taipei National University of the Arts.”

This series of video artworks is a metaphysical trip to another reality between our vision and perception. In accordance with the postulates of postmodernism and legacy of Derrida, the artist plays with the language of color, providing the opportunity to rethink our links with the current world through kitsch and low fidelity. Macro video recording and experimental sounds in videos are 'entry points' to the new stage of postmodernism where a viewer can melt a metaphysical body and disappear to leave marks in the internal world.
The collection name is derived from the words "macro", "experiment" and "sound".
WARNING: These videos have been identified to potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.

“Hendrik Kerstens did not train formally as an artist. however, he wished to devote himself to a more creative profession and in 1995, at the age of forty, he left the business world and took up photography. His wife Anna worked full time to support this change of direction. in a reversal of more traditional roles, Kerstens cared for their young daughter Paula, while also studying photography during the day. Having a child left a deep impression on Kerstens. Through photography, he explored the accompanying feelings of responsibility, vulnerability and love he felt towards his daughter, starting with documentary family snapshots.
As Paula physically and psychologically grew, Kerstens searched for an artistic manifestation of these changes, leading to his interpretations of the great dutch master painters of the 17th century with Paula as his muse”

“It has been a difficult year for all of us. A year full of complications, fears, anxiety and frustration. I feel like a landmark year, an opportunity to start over, grow and be better. Personally, I have to say that even with everything that was happening around me I have been able to do great things and I am grateful for that. Things that seemed difficult to achieve at the beginning of the year. That’s why I wanted to make this edit with a selection of the best work I have been doing during the last years. As a full stop and move to the next step from here. I’ve lost 20kg and am running almost every day on the beach in Barcelona, the city I’ve dreamed of living in for a long time. It feels great how ideas come to mind again as I do it. ”
