TSANG Kin-Wah's site-specific commission T HE E PLE AND THE P O LE ALONE featured in ARTnews review of Rituals of Perception at Tanoto Art Foundation by Payal Uttam.
The show opens with a new commission by Hong Kong–based artist Tsang Kin-wah. Unfurling beside a staircase, the site-specific installation, titled THE E PLE AND THE P O LE ALONE (2026), is a play on a quotation from Mao Zedong: “The People and the People alone.” Composed of black vinyl wall text inspired by political and philosophical statements, the work encourages individual agency and free thought. While Tsang’s practice typically favors neatly placed letters, here the text deliberately devolves into a crumpled mess, suggesting shattered ideals and the collapse of dreams.—Payal Uttam
