Hua International is pleased to announce Dizzying Effect, a group exhibition featuring works by two Asian art collectives, CFGNY and Green Go Home (initiated by Thomas Vu and Rirkrit Tiravanija). Dizzying Effect, which draws its title from the writings of cultural critic Rey Chow, examines the profound impact of globalization on artistic expression. It highlights the balance between global influences and cultural identity, navigating the nuances of identity politics and universality. Chow’s use of the term “dizzying effect” refers to how these overlapping identities are not static, but dynamic and diverse, resonating with CFGNY’s overarching project of articulating the “vaguely Asian”— a term that navigates diverse migration histories, racialized associations, and asynchronous connections—and Green Go Home’s context responsive format, which seeks to build bridges and generate relationships between local collaborators to foster an expansive, ever-evolving sense of “home.”
