Ivy Haldeman: Pictures for Use and Pleasure

September 24 – November 13, 2022

Yuz Museum is pleased to present “Ivy Haldeman: Pictures for Use and Pleasure,” the first institutional solo exhibition of the New York–based artist in Mainland China, from September 24th to November 13th, 2022 at the Yuz Project Space of Art. Haldeman’s Pop art-inflected visual idiom draws from storefront advertising and commercial tropes. She is a keen observer of mass media and the way it prefigures the visual and experiential patterns of contemporary urbanity. Through classic symbols like hotdogs and business suits, the artist makes images and concepts shift and pivot like a hinge, reconstructing and integrating issues of body, desire, culture, and identity across far- reaching historical and intercultural frames.
