Chewing Gum IV continues Pace’s sustained studies of the individual creative states of contemporary artists from different temporal, regional, and cultural backgrounds, with a special focus on the contrast among the artists’ works, in practices, aesthetics and cultures, especially in the current time of global epidemic where social distance and people’s experience of time have been stretched. Here, the everyday act of “chewing” alludes to the ways in which a globalized context tends to dispel, and even dissolve cultural differences, and engage viewers to participate and reflect upon new interpretations and connections between the curated artworks of artists Kohei Nawa, Kenneth Noland, Thomas Nozkowski, Adam Pendleton, Michal Rovner, Tony Smith, Xiao Yu and Zhang Xiaogang.
