Shin Gallery is delighted to announce The Exhibition in Motion, a continuation of selected works from our Summer Exhibition that will gradually evolve over the coming weeks. This project highlights the importance of curatorial practice and the art of exhibition-making, as our display transforms to mark a new transitional period for the gallery.
The concept of “a work in motion” was pioneered by sculptor Alexander Calder and later articulated by critic and author Umberto Eco. This fall, Shin Gallery presents The Exhibition in Motion: An Exercise in Curatorial Philosophy, expanding upon this lineage while introducing our own approach.
Our presentation brings together artists from around the world and across generations, spanning figures who have shaped the course of art history as well as dynamic emerging voices defining the years ahead. Each artist’s work reflects distinct cultural, historical, and personal experiences, brought together through a thoughtful curatorial lens.
While the exhibition honors the past and looks toward the future, it is firmly rooted in the present: in how art actively shapes and responds to an ever-changing world where uncertainty and creative ideologies converge. The works on view invite dialogue, provoke ideas, and celebrate the energy of transformation.
The artists featured embody a wide spectrum of backgrounds, ethnicities, gender expressions, and sexual identities. Their practices range from traditions deeply rooted in history to radical experimentation, collectively contributing to a narrative of transformation, individuality, and continuity across time. As the exhibition evolves, so too does the work, with gallery and artwork moving together in motion.
Building on our Summer Exhibition, which dismantled traditional hierarchies and invited intuitive connections across formal, thematic, personal, and political lines, this next chapter pushes further. Rather than remaining static, works will shift and change, embracing the fluidity of artistic creation. Here, the gallery itself becomes a malleable medium, open to growth and change.
Ultimately, The Exhibition in Motion is a meditation on evolution, coexistence, and the beauty of transformation. Art has always reflected its moment, and in a cultural climate often defined by division, this exhibition reaffirms its power to bridge differences. It is an invitation to embrace impermanence, to contemplate motion, and to reflect on the transformative forces that shape our lives.
