Wonhae Hwang, Sunjeong Hwang – Skin and Nerve
6 Mar - 18 Apr 2026 68projects 68projects presents the joint exhibition "Skin and Nerve" by Sunjeong Hwang and Wonhae Hwang, developed during their 2025 residency in Berlin. Bringing together video, sound, and painting, the exhibition explores how contemporary image cultures oscillate between technological immersion and material resistance. Sunjeong Hwang’s practice spans video, sound, generative systems, and installation. Her works construct immersive environments that draw on AI, field recording, and speculative interfaces, redistributing perception across ecological, technological, and non-human networks. While these systems evoke visions of expanded connectivity and symbiosis, they also expose the underlying structures of control embedded in digital interfaces.
In contrast, Wonhae Hwang approaches the contemporary image through painting. Rooted in urban observation, architectural fragments, and screen-based imagery, her works emerge through layered analog and digital processes. Glass façades, screen tones, and painterly gestures collide to produce fractured surfaces marked by opacity, distortion, and visual fatigue. Rather than offering painting as a retreat from digital culture, her works reveal it as a medium equally shaped by saturation and pressure. Read more -
Nick Dawes – Trace Elements
6 - 18 Mar 2026 KORNFELD Galerie With Trace Elements, KORNFELD Gallery presents a solo exhibition by London-based artist Nick Dawes (b. 1969, Johannesburg), bringing together new works from his current phase of practice. Curated by Charles Moore, the exhibition is dedicated to a painterly approach that consciously resists the visual acceleration of the present, placing time, materiality, and attention at its core.
Nick Dawes’ works are created by pouring thin layers of paint onto untreated canvas. Transparency, layering, and a visibly inscribed temporal dimension shape the surfaces of the paintings. Color appears not as a decorative element, but as a structuring principle. The painterly process remains openly legible, lending the works a quiet yet intense presence.
Conceptually, Dawes’ work enters into a contemporary dialogue with key positions of postwar abstract painting such as Ed Clark, Mark Rothko, and Sam Gilliam, without citing them directly. His painting carries forward their inquiries into color, space, and materiality with consistency and clarity, asserting the continued relevance of painting as a site of concentrated perception and temporal experience.
