Chan13 & Vita Kari: In the Symbols | 23 November 2024 - 2 March 2025

Yiwei Gallery X Wuhan Contemporary Art Lab is pleased to present In the Symbols, a duo exhibition featuring recent works by Chinese artist Chan13 and American artist Vita Kari. This exhibition investigates the intricate dynamics of contemporary life in a world dominated by symbols, examining the dual roles of the artists as both internet creators and fine artists.

Chan13 is an artist, independent watchmaker, and architect. His practice spans various fields, including murals, oil paintings, and installations. He is also engaged in architectural design and independent watch design and production. This diverse experience provides Chan13 with different artistic perspectives and a unique artistic style. He holds a Ph.D. in architecture history from Harvard University, and his years of research training instill a scholarly rigor in his work. As a successor of traditional architectural craftsmanship and an independent watchmaker, his style blends horological art with the aesthetics of traditional Chinese architecture

Vita Kari (they/them) is a visual artist from Los Angeles, CA, working across textiles, performance, and video.

Their notable works include video series “Virality as Form: The Craziest Thing About Being Creative,” performance “Trapped in a Can,” and the upcoming “Close the Door.” Kari has exhibited at Goodmother Gallery, Bolsky Gallery, and Yiwei Gallery LA, as well as internationally in Shanghai and Wuhan, China at Yiwei. They will make their art fair debut at Untitled Miami in December 2024.

Kari has been featured in Forbes, Artnet, Gay Times and Interview Magazine, among others. They have collaborated with brands such as Marc Jacobs, Loewe, Tory Burch, Google, Adobe, Spotify, and more.
