Curated by Arne Glimcher, the exhibition gathers never-before-seen documentation of Zhang<span>\u2019<\/span>s most iconic performances from the <span>\u2019<\/span>90s and <span>\u2019<\/span>00s, presented in dialogue with photographs, sculptures and incense ash paintings.\n<\/p>\n<p>Born in Anyang, Henan Province in 1965, Zhang emerged as a leading figure of Beijing<span>\u2019<\/span>s conceptual art movement. In the early 90<span>\u2019<\/span>s, he took part in Beijing East Village, an experimental artist community on the city<span>\u2019<\/span>s outskirts, remembered for their provocative collaborations with an emphasis on collective action. In 1994, Zhang led one of the group<span>\u2019<\/span>s most talked about works, <span>\u201c<\/span>12 Square Meters,<span>\u201d<\/span> where he sat naked in an outhouse, letting flies collect on his honey-covered body for hours.\n<\/p>\n<p>While exploring the endurance of a single body, much of his oeuvre focused on poetic and ecologically involved expressions of collective action. Highlights at the Newbury show include <span>\u201c<\/span>To Add One Meter to an Anonymous Mountain<span>\u201d<\/span> (1995), when he recruited a group to lay in a pile atop a mountain to temporarily <span>\u201c<\/span>raise<span>\u201d<\/span> its summit; and <span>\u201c<\/span>In To Raise the Water Level in a Fishpond<span>\u201d<\/span> (1997), where a group of laborers came together to raise a pond by one meter.\n<\/p>\n<p>Alongside performances, the exhibition features standouts like his titular ash paintings, created out of mounds of ash disposed at Buddhist temples, and selections from the his <em>Memory Door<\/em> series.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media bypass\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVjP7Lrjgki\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>A post shared by Pace Gallery (@pacegallery)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\nMarking his first New York solo in over a decade, the show brings his Big Apple tenure to the forefront. Zhang<span>\u2019<\/span>s stint in New York lasted from 1998 to 2006, and during that time, his work became heavily informed by immigrant identity and cultural adjustment, concepts that loomed over his personal life. Such ideas were channeled in his 2002 Whitney Biennial performance, <span>\u201c<\/span>My New York,<span>\u201d<\/span> also at Newbury, where he took to the city streets in a Hulk-like suit made of meat, to emphasize the inherent animalism in humanity; or <span>\u201c<\/span>1\/2 (Text),<span>\u201d<\/span> a bodily, text-based metaphor for the transcultural throes he found himself in.\n<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span>The body is the only direct way through which I come to know society and society comes to know me,<span>\u201d<\/span> he once said. <span>\u201c<\/span>The body is the proof of identity. The body is language.<span>\u201d<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Zhuang Huan: Ash Paintings and Performances<\/em> is now on view through April 4.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>125 Newbury<\/strong><br \/>\n395 Broadway,<br \/>\nNew York, NY 10013<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6693311\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>\u2018STITCHED\u2019 by Sam Gilliam: Art Born from Constraint\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6693566\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Billionaire Boys Club and the New York Yankees Reunite for a New Collaborative Capsule\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6694761\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>8 Drops of the Week\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"city-related-posts-wrapper\" id=\"post-body-city-related-post\">\n<h3>\n        Find out more for New York<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"swiper-container\">\n<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-1\">\n<div id=\"post-6689594\" class=\"post-box-container city-box \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/3\/free-arts-nyc-gala-2026-recap\" data-title=\"What Went Down at the 2026 Free Arts Gala\" data-post-box data-layer-item-id=\"6689594\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\">\n<div class=\"post-box-image-container fixed-ratio-3-2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid lazy-load\" alt=\"What Went Down at the 2026 Free Arts Gala\" src=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F13%2Ffree-arts-nyc-gala-2026-recap-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=750&amp;h=500\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-container\">\n<div class=\"post-box-content-title\">\n<h2><span>What Went Down at the 2026 Free Arts Gala<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-excerpt\">\n                                A star-studded meeting of minds, the event sketched a vision for the next generation of artists.\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-2\">\n<div id=\"post-6689012\" class=\"post-box-container city-box \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/3\/peter-saul-art-history-gladstone-gallery-new-york\" data-title=\"Peter Saul\u2019s New Show Is a Lesson in \u2018Art History'\" data-post-box data-layer-item-id=\"6689012\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\">\n<div class=\"post-box-image-container fixed-ratio-3-2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid lazy-load\" alt=\"Peter Saul\u2019s New Show Is a Lesson in \u2018Art History'\" src=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F12%2Fpeter-saul-art-history-gladstone-gallery-new-york-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=750&amp;h=500\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-container\">\n<div class=\"post-box-content-title\">\n<h2><span>Peter Saul\u2019s New Show Is a Lesson in \u2018Art History&#8217;<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-excerpt\">\n                                On view at Gladstone Gallery New York through April 18.\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>    Looking for more suggestions for New York?<i class=\"icon icon-right-arrow\"><\/i>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Curated by Arne Glimcher, the exhibition gathers never-before-seen documentation of Zhang<span>\u2019<\/span>s most iconic performances from the <span>\u2019<\/span>90s and <span>\u2019<\/span>00s, presented in dialogue with photographs, sculptures and incense ash paintings.\n<\/p>\n<p>Born in Anyang, Henan Province in 1965, Zhang emerged as a leading figure of Beijing<span>\u2019<\/span>s conceptual art movement. In the early 90<span>\u2019<\/span>s, he took part in Beijing East Village, an experimental artist community on the city<span>\u2019<\/span>s outskirts, remembered for their provocative collaborations with an emphasis on collective action. In 1994, Zhang led one of the group<span>\u2019<\/span>s most talked about works, <span>\u201c<\/span>12 Square Meters,<span>\u201d<\/span> where he sat naked in an outhouse, letting flies collect on his honey-covered body for hours.\n<\/p>\n<p>While exploring the endurance of a single body, much of his oeuvre focused on poetic and ecologically involved expressions of collective action. Highlights at the Newbury show include <span>\u201c<\/span>To Add One Meter to an Anonymous Mountain<span>\u201d<\/span> (1995), when he recruited a group to lay in a pile atop a mountain to temporarily <span>\u201c<\/span>raise<span>\u201d<\/span> its summit; and <span>\u201c<\/span>In To Raise the Water Level in a Fishpond<span>\u201d<\/span> (1997), where a group of laborers came together to raise a pond by one meter.\n<\/p>\n<p>Alongside performances, the exhibition features standouts like his titular ash paintings, created out of mounds of ash disposed at Buddhist temples, and selections from the his <em>Memory Door<\/em> series.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media bypass\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVjP7Lrjgki\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>A post shared by Pace Gallery (@pacegallery)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\nMarking his first New York solo in over a decade, the show brings his Big Apple tenure to the forefront. Zhang<span>\u2019<\/span>s stint in New York lasted from 1998 to 2006, and during that time, his work became heavily informed by immigrant identity and cultural adjustment, concepts that loomed over his personal life. Such ideas were channeled in his 2002 Whitney Biennial performance, <span>\u201c<\/span>My New York,<span>\u201d<\/span> also at Newbury, where he took to the city streets in a Hulk-like suit made of meat, to emphasize the inherent animalism in humanity; or <span>\u201c<\/span>1\/2 (Text),<span>\u201d<\/span> a bodily, text-based metaphor for the transcultural throes he found himself in.\n<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span>The body is the only direct way through which I come to know society and society comes to know me,<span>\u201d<\/span> he once said. <span>\u201c<\/span>The body is the proof of identity.

Curated by Arne Glimcher, the exhibition gathers never-before-seen documentation of Zhang<span>\u2019<\/span>s most iconic performances from the <span>\u2019<\/span>90s and <span>\u2019<\/span>00s, presented in dialogue with photographs, sculptures and incense ash paintings.\n<\/p>\n<p>Born in Anyang, Henan Province in 1965, Zhang emerged as a leading figure of Beijing<span>\u2019<\/span>s conceptual art movement. In the early 90<span>\u2019<\/span>s, he took part in Beijing East Village, an experimental artist community on the city<span>\u2019<\/span>s outskirts, remembered for their provocative collaborations with an emphasis on collective action. In 1994, Zhang led one of the group<span>\u2019<\/span>s most talked about works, <span>\u201c<\/span>12 Square Meters,<span>\u201d<\/span> where he sat naked in an outhouse, letting flies collect on his honey-covered body for hours.\n<\/p>\n<p>While exploring the endurance of a single body, much of his oeuvre focused on poetic and ecologically involved expressions of collective action. Highlights at the Newbury show include <span>\u201c<\/span>To Add One Meter to an Anonymous Mountain<span>\u201d<\/span> (1995), when he recruited a group to lay in a pile atop a mountain to temporarily <span>\u201c<\/span>raise<span>\u201d<\/span> its summit; and <span>\u201c<\/span>In To Raise the Water Level in a Fishpond<span>\u201d<\/span> (1997), where a group of laborers came together to raise a pond by one meter.\n<\/p>\n<p>Alongside performances, the exhibition features standouts like his titular ash paintings, created out of mounds of ash disposed at Buddhist temples, and selections from the his <em>Memory Door<\/em> series.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media bypass\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVjP7Lrjgki\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>A post shared by Pace Gallery (@pacegallery)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\nMarking his first New York solo in over a decade, the show brings his Big Apple tenure to the forefront. Zhang<span>\u2019<\/span>s stint in New York lasted from 1998 to 2006, and during that time, his work became heavily informed by immigrant identity and cultural adjustment, concepts that loomed over his personal life. Such ideas were channeled in his 2002 Whitney Biennial performance, <span>\u201c<\/span>My New York,<span>\u201d<\/span> also at Newbury, where he took to the city streets in a Hulk-like suit made of meat, to emphasize the inherent animalism in humanity; or <span>\u201c<\/span>1\/2 (Text),<span>\u201d<\/span> a bodily, text-based metaphor for the transcultural throes he found himself in.\n<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span>The body is the only direct way through which I come to know society and society comes to know me,<span>\u201d<\/span> he once said. <span>\u201c<\/span>The body is the proof of identity. The body is language.<span>\u201d<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Zhuang Huan: Ash Paintings and Performances<\/em> is now on view through April 4.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>125 Newbury<\/strong><br \/>\n395 Broadway,<br \/>\nNew York, NY 10013<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6693311\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>\u2018STITCHED\u2019 by Sam Gilliam: Art Born from Constraint\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6693566\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Billionaire Boys Club and the New York Yankees Reunite for a New Collaborative Capsule\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6694761\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>8 Drops of the Week\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"city-related-posts-wrapper\" id=\"post-body-city-related-post\">\n<h3>\n        Find out more for New York<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"swiper-container\">\n<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-1\">\n<div id=\"post-6689594\" class=\"post-box-container city-box \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/3\/free-arts-nyc-gala-2026-recap\" data-title=\"What Went Down at the 2026 Free Arts Gala\" data-post-box data-layer-item-id=\"6689594\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\">\n<div class=\"post-box-image-container fixed-ratio-3-2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid lazy-load\" alt=\"What Went Down at the 2026 Free Arts Gala\" src=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F13%2Ffree-arts-nyc-gala-2026-recap-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=750&amp;h=500\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-container\">\n<div class=\"post-box-content-title\">\n<h2><span>What Went Down at the 2026 Free Arts Gala<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-excerpt\">\n                                A star-studded meeting of minds, the event sketched a vision for the next generation of artists.\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-2\">\n<div id=\"post-6689012\" class=\"post-box-container city-box \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/3\/peter-saul-art-history-gladstone-gallery-new-york\" data-title=\"Peter Saul\u2019s New Show Is a Lesson in \u2018Art History'\" data-post-box data-layer-item-id=\"6689012\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\">\n<div class=\"post-box-image-container fixed-ratio-3-2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid lazy-load\" alt=\"Peter Saul\u2019s New Show Is a Lesson in \u2018Art History'\" src=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F12%2Fpeter-saul-art-history-gladstone-gallery-new-york-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=750&amp;h=500\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-container\">\n<div class=\"post-box-content-title\">\n<h2><span>Peter Saul\u2019s New Show Is a Lesson in \u2018Art History&#8217;<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-excerpt\">\n                                On view at Gladstone Gallery New York through April 18.\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>    Looking for more suggestions for New York?<i class=\"icon icon-right-arrow\"><\/i>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Curated by Arne Glimcher, the exhibition gathers never-before-seen documentation of Zhang<span>\u2019<\/span>s most iconic performances from the <span>\u2019<\/span>90s and <span>\u2019<\/span>00s, presented in dialogue with photographs, sculptures and incense ash paintings.\n<\/p>\n<p>Born in Anyang, Henan Province in 1965, Zhang emerged as a leading figure of Beijing<span>\u2019<\/span>s conceptual art movement. In the early 90<span>\u2019<\/span>s, he took part in Beijing East Village, an experimental artist community on the city<span>\u2019<\/span>s outskirts, remembered for their provocative collaborations with an emphasis on collective action. In 1994, Zhang led one of the group<span>\u2019<\/span>s most talked about works, <span>\u201c<\/span>12 Square Meters,<span>\u201d<\/span> where he sat naked in an outhouse, letting flies collect on his honey-covered body for hours.\n<\/p>\n<p>While exploring the endurance of a single body, much of his oeuvre focused on poetic and ecologically involved expressions of collective action. Highlights at the Newbury show include <span>\u201c<\/span>To Add One Meter to an Anonymous Mountain<span>\u201d<\/span> (1995), when he recruited a group to lay in a pile atop a mountain to temporarily <span>\u201c<\/span>raise<span>\u201d<\/span> its summit; and <span>\u201c<\/span>In To Raise the Water Level in a Fishpond<span>\u201d<\/span> (1997), where a group of laborers came together to raise a pond by one meter.\n<\/p>\n<p>Alongside performances, the exhibition features standouts like his titular ash paintings, created out of mounds of ash disposed at Buddhist temples, and selections from the his <em>Memory Door<\/em> series.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media bypass\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVjP7Lrjgki\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>A post shared by Pace Gallery (@pacegallery)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\nMarking his first New York solo in over a decade, the show brings his Big Apple tenure to the forefront. Zhang<span>\u2019<\/span>s stint in New York lasted from 1998 to 2006, and during that time, his work became heavily informed by immigrant identity and cultural adjustment, concepts that loomed over his personal life. Such ideas were channeled in his 2002 Whitney Biennial performance, <span>\u201c<\/span>My New York,<span>\u201d<\/span> also at Newbury, where he took to the city streets in a Hulk-like suit made of meat, to emphasize the inherent animalism in humanity; or <span>\u201c<\/span>1\/2 (Text),<span>\u201d<\/span> a bodily, text-based metaphor for the transcultural throes he found himself in.\n<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span>The body is the only direct way through which I come to know society and society comes to know me,<span>\u201d<\/span> he once said. <span>\u201c<\/span>The body is the proof of identity. The body is language.<span>\u201d<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Zhuang Huan: Ash Paintings and Performances<\/em> is now on view through April 4.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>125 Newbury<\/strong><br \/>\n395 Broadway,<br \/>\nNew York, NY 10013<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-author d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider share-divider\">\n<h6>Text By<\/h6>\n<p>        <span class=\"author-name\">Erin Ikeuchi<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-share d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<h6>Share this article<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-content-tags\">\n<div class=\"body collapsed\">\n<p>    Zhang HuanNew YorkExhibitionspace gallery125 Newbury\n                                                            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/3\/zhang-huan-125-newbury-pace-gallery-new-york&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F23%2Fzhang-huan-125-newbury-pace-gallery-new-york-tw.jpg?w=1080&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;fit=max&#8221;] Art Mar 23, 2026 3.2K Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Text By Erin Ikeuchi Share this article 1 of 6 Courtesy Of The Artist And Pace Gallery 2 of 6 Courtesy Of The Artist And Pace Gallery 3 of 6 Courtesy Of The Artist And Pace Gallery 4 of 6 Courtesy Of The [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,39],"class_list":["post-1846937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-hypebeast-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1846937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1846937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1846937\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1846937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1846937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1846937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
