Ghislaine Leung conducts her practice according to a series of scores that define the very nature of each work. These scores respond to the conditions of the structures in which they are exhibited, thereby revealing their - our - own limitations within the system. 

By adhering to the parameters that govern the very functioning of the Fundació Joan Miró, Leung's exhibition focuses on mutual dependence, examining the vulnerability of the structures and our movement through them. 

Ghislaine Leung

Lives and works in London. Starting from a rigorously conceptual yet deeply personal approach, Leung focuses on the reproductive aspects of institutional practice that decisively shape the outcome of artistic production and reception but usually remain invisible. Her work employs bullet-point instructions to radically redistribute and compose the terms of artistic production. For Leung, constraints-perceived as personal, institutional, structural, or systemic within the sector's parameters-come into play as a means of "instituting" differently. Leung has held solo exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel; the Renaissance Society, Chicago; Simian (Copenhagen); Maxwell Graham (New York); Ordet (Milan); Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach (Germany); Cabinet (London); Netwerk (Aalst, Belgium); Künstlerhaus Stuttgart; Chisenhale (London); Reading International (Reading, UK); Cell Project Space (London); and WIELS (Brussels).
