Lu Yang: The Great Adventure of Material World
About This Event
Lu Yang's work sits at the intersection of exhibition practice and moving-image presentation, treating the body as a site shaped by technology. At Moving Image Exhibitions her screen-based pieces are shown alongside live conversation and performance, placing them in dialogue with animation and experimental cinema lineages and favoring structural clarity even as the imagery turns hallucinatory.
About The Great Adventure of Material World
Now showing at Moving Image Exhibitions in New York City, *The Great Adventure of Material World* is presented as a live exhibition event that traces how artists give physical form to moving-image ideas. The program brings together work and influence associated with Jim Henson, Yuri Norstein, Lu Yang, and Todd Haynes, moving between handcrafted illusion, animation, digital bodies, and cinematic montage. In a city where screen culture is usually consumed at speed, the exhibition slows the frame down and asks viewers to look at process. Its most pointed gesture is treating “material” not as a theme but as an argument about authorship and labor.
