Sean Tseng

The exhibition includes new configurations of Tseng’s site-responsive installation As vast as night and light, which draws attention to the possibilities of vastness – both of the exhibition space and of the world. Understanding spatiality as a lived experience, Tseng composes materials into an arrangement that allows their particular qualities to interact with each other and the exhibition space, creating a sense of tension and rhythm.

Investigating the power of vastness to enchant a bounded physical space, Tseng invites viewers to reflect on the necessity of slowing down and rediscovering the material world that surrounds their bodies. Tseng’s practice as a sculptor attests to his belief that space is not merely the site on which things take position but moreover an indispensable and omnipresent material in itself.

Animating the still, the installation explores tensions between the seen and the unseen, the tangible and the intangible. The installation interweaves vision, body, and space with invisible air and physical mass, revealing the presence of perception. When one’s body enters Tseng’s work, one finds one’s perception guided through an exploration of a collaged space where a glance and a beam of light become a momentary experience of infinity and vastness.
