Deye Chen Gen Chyen
Urban Spree Gallery
Berlin
2024 This exhibition plays with the concept of recreation, not as replicating but adopting (re)creating in reference to creating again and as a recreational act, yet suggesting a third meaning: re-creation as a playful form of evaluation, a multimodal essay in permanent change that ponders in a reflective yet gestural way—to think with the body.

In this regard, the exhibition proposes a jovial study, a re-evaluation of previous artworks in an archival format. A self-portrait or portrait of my environment in profane archeology that desacralizes the preservation of the object to reinvent it. Each piece contains different concepts, forming an eclectic mix of works ranging from the intrapersonal and story-based, to collaborations with other artists, to ongoing series and record-based materials that aim to provoke thoughts and encourage a feeling of depth and playfulness in mundanity.
