“Shadows in the Screen” begins with a feeling — the particular anxiety of living fully in a world that has forgotten how to feel its own life. A robot worm clad in raw meat travels through New York City. It doesn’t threaten. It doesn’t perform. It simply moves — and in moving, it speaks to something essential about the human condition: flesh carrying desires it didn’t originate, moving through concepts inherited so deeply they feel like its own. The paintings that surround it offer no refuge. Chromatic and fragmented, they overwhelm without resolution, pulling the eye into a restlessness that mirrors the world outside.
This exhibition, featuring new works by the Cuban artist FABELO HUNG, draws from the Vedic concept of Kali Yuga — the final age, marked not by dramatic collapse but by a slow draining of meaning, a creeping wrongness beneath the surface of ordinary life. Rahu moves through it all: formless, directionless, impossible to hold.
About
FABELO HUNG works across an expansive terrain of media — painting, sculpture, performance, installation, photography, video, virtual reality, and robotics — not out of restlessness, but out of a conviction that no single form can contain what he is trying to say. Born in Cuba and now based in Miami, his practice is shaped by cultural displacement and the awareness that images and histories are never neutral. At its core is a gesture he calls visual piracy: moving through culture as a scavenger and saboteur, collecting fragments charged by power and returning them altered, destabilized, freed from their original discourse. This is not mere appropriation but something closer to metabolization — absorbing cultural material and letting it pass through chaos and uncertainty until it emerges belonging to neither its source nor any fixed new meaning. That instability is deliberate. It is, for him, a form of freedom.
This program benefits from the support of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Cuban Artists Fund.
