David Khang (00) is exhibiting in a show entitled Grotesques along with Cheto Castellano, Irene Loughlin, Natalie Loveless, Naufus Ramirez-Figuroa and Coco Rico at A Space in Toronto.

Grotesques must be thought of as a site of experimentation, where risk is a seductive ally that pries open the aperture for possibility. In this collective exhibition, the grotesque is invoked as a realm of mutative, transitional, and transgressive potentiality. Employing a range of taboo materials, themes, and forms, the artists move beyond the expected, searching for unconventional ways into the audience's sensorium. Through symbolic inversion, this group of artist-agents emphasize a return of the repressed, amplifying contemporary political issues that exist within our everyday experience.

The exhibit is curated by Lissette Olivares
