Esther Schipper opens 'Forking Paths' with Taiwanese and Italian artists
Esther Schipper presents 'Forking Paths', a group exhibition curated by Giulia Gelmini and Muchi Shaw. The show features works by eight artists: Chiu Chien-Jen, Roberto De Pinto, Hsu Chia-Wei, Beatrice Marchi, Valerio Nicolai, Federico Tosi, Tsai Yi-Ting, and Tseng Chien-Ying. The exhibition title references Jorge Luis Borges' 1941 short story 'The Garden of Forking Paths', which posits time as branching into multiple simultaneous possibilities rather than a single linear trajectory. 'Forking Paths' uses this concept to explore how images, histories, and identities are constructed and perceived.
