Greene Naftali is pleased to present Paul Chan: Automa Mon Amour, featuring kinetic sculptures, models, and works on paper in the artist’s seventh solo exhibition at the gallery. The works on view include new entries in Chan’s ongoing series called the Breathers: nylon vessels filled and animated by currents of air, which the artist calls “clothing for spirits.” These pneumatic objects collapse art historical differences between figuration and abstraction, positing what a work that makes no distinction between sculpture, performance, and the moving image might look like. Alongside the Breathers, Chan exhibits new drawings that diagram the flow of air that brings them to life, and the fabric models that materialize his experimental approach to this self-propelling art.
