WeiXin Quek Chong: moulting pangs
The body in transformation—shedding, merging, mutating—is at the heart of moulting pangs, a new solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist WeiXin Quek Chong (b.Singapore, living in Madrid). Drawing from the speculative worlds of Octavia Butler’s Xenogenesis trilogy, Chong delves into a sensuous landscape of form and fluidity - amorphous shifting and the pluriversality of bodies—resisting categorization in the constant struggle of becoming.
Gabriela Mureb: Crash
Gabriela Mureb (b. Rio de Janeiro), known for her sculptural machines and performative installations, presents Crash — a new video work developed during an exclusive visit to BMW’s dismantling and recycling plant in Germany. Rooted in her ongoing exploration of the body as machine and the interplay of mechanical and sonic repetition, Crash captures a visceral collapse: a choreography of destruction in which mechanical utterances emerge as raw, rhythmic language — the sound of a body coming undone, unsettling in its beauty and violence.
