Altered Realities : A Jiangshi Introspection] by Daniel Yu x BLAXK by ActionCity (Opens Sept 24)

This coming weekend, folks in Singapore'll be able to witness the hoard of JIANGSHIs "hopping" at you through your collective imaginations, at the "Altered Realities: A Jiangshi Introspection Exhibition" hopping throughout BLAXK by ActionCity, curated by Daniel Yu X BLAXK!



EVENT PRESS: Set as one of the original local names in the collectibles scene, Daniel Yu is a prolific resin-slinger who creates jaw-dropping works! Heavily influenced by an upbringing steeped in local tradition and pop culture ephemera, his works combine both worlds of imagination, yet remain largely shaped by his personal experiences. Best represented by his macabre-themed characters, including his iconic Jiangshi creations, Daniel’s toy releases see a cult following amongst the urban and subculture art scene.



EVENT PRESS (CONTINUED): Paying tribute to the Jiangshi together with 13 other key local artists, Daniel celebrates this macabre form as an artistic muse and inspiration – elevating the classic folklore character from a cinematic genre into a pop culture art icon through showcasing various creative artistic reimaginations of the Jiangshi at BLAXK.




The art of the 13 invited guest artists will be split into 2 waves. Wave 1 will showcase from 24th September - 20th October, and Wave 2 will showcase from 21st October - 20th November. Can you figure out who the guest artists are? Read the embedded Insta-captions for more, cheers.



This will be BLAXK's 4th exhibition showcasing local artists, following Lester Lim's "Coming Full Circle", Clogtwo X Wetworks' "[Shinigami: The Awakening] Show", and Jessica Emmett's "Show Your Emo" solo shows.... And I cannot wait to see how the space will be done up next!

"Altered Realities: A Jiangshi Introspection Exhibition" opens to the public this Saturday September 24th at BLAXK by ActionCity (#01-03 Funan Mall, 107 North Bridge Road, Singapore 179105).

Stay connected to Instas @thedanielyu and @theblaxkspace for continued reveals leading up to D-Day, and beyond, and I'll attempt to bring you some coverage (on instagram.com/toysrevil) before the weekend, cheers!
