The fourth and fifth artists to arrive were Hsiao-Chi Tsai & Kimiya Yoshikawa. Working frequently as a collaborative team, Hsiao-Chi and Kimiya were curated into Art Experiment fairly late in the process of organizing the exhibition. Because of this timing, they were given very specific stipulations by Garage. For example, their previous work (as seen below) is incredibly colourful. For Art Experiment, they were asked to create an all-white work coloured via projections. Likely, this was intended to compliment the workshop already scheduled for the space, where viewers are invited to create marbled tote bags.

Because of the perimeters for their work at Garage, Hsiao-Chi and Kimiya were genuinely experimenting with white materials for the first time at Art Experiment. The resulting piece is a kaleidoscopic wall sculpture. I’m looking forward to spending more time observing this piece in between workshops when the space can be completely dark!

On a side note, it was really interesting talking to another collaborative team about their process as a duo.
