L.L. Contemporary is pleased to present Out of Sight, Out of Mind, a solo exhibition by Zhan Zhang, whose work explores the delicate interplay between visibility, memory, and cultural identity through the evocative medium of paper. Using scissors to “draw” lines, through intricate sculptural techniques, Zhang investigates what we choose to perceive and thus remember, and what we allow to be unseen and forgotten. In a time when cultural narratives are often rewritten or erased, these sculptures stand as tactile symbols to hidden stories and silenced voices.

The exhibition features the artist’s works from the past two years, including installations, soft sculptures, and video. Visually innovative and enjoyable, the loose works can be freely reorganized, offering endless possibilities. Though in futuristic sculptural forms, each piece carries a backstory rooted in Zhang’s lived experience and heritage. Some works are inspired by childhood memories, while others respond to broader issues such as migration, displacement, and identity.  Zhang’s meticulous approach results in personalized works that are simultaneously airy and architectural, ephemeral and enduring.
