Surface Value:
Artist in residency + Solo Show in 1B window gallery
The residency runs from 1 June to 22 June and followed with a solo exhibition onsite from 22 June to 11 July 2024.
YiMiao had the pleasure of being invited to do a residency and solo show in 1B Gallery. During her time here, YiMiao sought to explore her current practice with the site, use drawing as a way to activate conversations and prompt narratives, play with the idea of 'affordable property', and test out a collision/conflation of materials.
The final presentation, a solo show titled ‘Surface Value’, brings together a body of work which is informed by YiMiao’s research prior to residency as well as her experience onsite. It formulates a contained show which is displayed with lights on 24/7 a week (a nod to the rigorous estate agencies) and is composed with embroidery-drawing, work on paper, metalwork and text that responds to the unique window gallery space.
Final exhibition runs between 22 June - 11 July 2024, with an Artist Reception + Talk at 6-8pm on Friday 28 June 2024
