After seeing “The Baghdad batteries,” the first of PS1’s Rotating Gallery exhibitions that are part of “Greater New York,” David Zwirner invited its curator (Olivia Shao) to organize the summer show here at the gallery. One gallery includes a re-installation of “The Baghdad batteries. Then, in the adjacent gallery, Olivia Shao curated a new exhibition that uses the existing show as a point of departure.

The individual works and artists’ practices are linked tangentially and there are some visual narratives at play. Some loose themes between the pieces are: invisible energy/blank surfaces, hidden narrative, authorship, visual codes, identity, orientalism/mysticism, accentuating surface details and visual patterns, among other related ideas.
