Unsold ≠ Worthless: Shifting Perspectives
De Sarthe is hosting their first group exhibition of the year, featuring a selection of artists represented by the gallery. They’ve deliberately fashioned this into a showcase of works that remain unsold from previous shows in a statement on today’s speculative art market that is too often defined by market manipulation, emphasising the importance of maintaining a healthy art ecosystem. View artworks like Chan Ka-kiu’s light box window ‘After’, consisting of found and AI-generated images haphazardly put together in a blatantly fictitious landscape; or Xinyan Zhang’s ‘Out of the Time No. 5’, colourful and playful at first, before being revealed to be a retelling of chilling true crimes.
