Leo Xu Projects is hosting an exhibition titled “Reflexology” featuring works by Nina Canell through January 15, 2017.This is Nina Canell’s first solo exhibition in China. Canell’s works are typically focused on found objects that are functional and that explore the relationship between material objects and immaterial forces. This series continues along this theme as she showcases old and new works while incorporating objects that she has sourced in Shanghai. As in the practice of reflexology, Canell too explores the idea of using appropriate external pressure and force and its outcome. In a way, her work can be considered to be using such application of pressure to press the viewer’s buttons to challenge the way they see and perceive, thus urging the viewer to reflect on their reactions to certain external stimuli.The event is on view at Lane 49, Building 3, Fuxing Xi Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai 200031, China.For details, visit http://leoxuprojects.com/?p=7690Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the event
