“T-24-L (Detail)(2016-17), Mixed media, 12 x 14 x 14 feet, photo by Vince Ruvolo, all images courtesy of the artist and Ronald Feldman Gallery, New YorkTaiwanese artist Shih Chieh Huang (previously) produces day-glow sculptures that illuminate, expand, and deflate—creating a whirling light show that both excites and relaxes the mind. His kinetic sculptures are powered by computer cooling fans and circuit breakers which are prominently incorporated into the works. Dozens of transparent plastic tentacles, LED lights, glowing liquids, and mechanical features give the pieces the appearance of bioluminescent underwater creatures who have adapted to survive in the far corners of the sea.Huang told Colossal that his current solo exhibition Incubate at Ronald Feldman Gallery in New York addresses chaos, order, growth, and pattern, and uses brand new materials such as continuous wire, a peristaltic pump for neon liquids, and a urethane belt. His work will be included in the upcoming group exhibition Useless: Machines for Dreaming, Thinking, and Seeing at the Bronx Museum starting this upcoming Wednesday, March 27 and running through September 1, 2019. You can see more of Huang’s glowing sculptural works on his website and Instagram. A tour of his current exhibition at Ronald Feldman Gallery, which closes April 13, 2019, can be seen in the video below.Incubate installation view (2019), photo by Vince Ruvolo“VT-34-BTB (red angel eye)(2017-18), Mixed media, 144 x 156 x 36 inches, photo by Megan PaetzholdIncubate installation view (2019), photo by Vince Ruvolo“VT-36(2017-18), Mixed media, 10 x 10 x 12 feet, photo by Megan PaetzholdIncubate installation view (2019), photo by Vince RuvoloIncubate installation view (2019), photo by Vince Ruvolo
