2019

The Luckman Gallery is pleased to present Taiwanese-American artist Tu-2. This exhibition includes a small survey of Tu-2’s early Mao-ology work, selections from his 108 series of blue and silver portraits made through “meditative mark-making” using only one silver pencil on blue paper, and selections of his new work. A large section of the gallery has been transformed into a meditation refuge where viewers and students alike are invited to stay and practice mindfulness as well as learn about meditation practices.

Established in 2006, Propeller Group is an artists’ collective based in Vietnam working in film, photography, sculpture, and installation. Merging the sophistication of an advertising firm, the pragmatism of a production company, and the experimentation of an arts co-op, Propeller Group refers to itself as a platform for collective thinking and coordinated action. This exhibition will feature work seen in Los Angeles for the first time, including the film The Living Need Light, The Dead Need Music (2014), a project created for the New Orleans Biennial.
