In September, artist Trevor Paglen (@trevorpaglen) and curator Xin Wang (@blancdexin) came together at the Hill Art Foundation for ‘Ghost in the Slop,’ a discussion about Artificial Intelligence and cultural production, which are also explored in several works in the the exhibition Thucydides Fever Dream.
In this clip from the discussion, Paglen describes various strategies in thinking critically about AI amidst its rapidly evolving discourse. Paglen notes, “I’ve been trying to notice, almost psychologically, how the things I’m interacting with are trying to influence me.”
Please visit Hill Art Foundation’s website for longer clips from the conversation and discussions with the audience.

During the 1980s, China experienced a period of “reading fever,” marked by a growing enthusiasm for Western literature, philosophy, and art, made accessible through translation.
Among these publications was a 1989 Chinese adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince, illustrated by Zhang Xiaogang. Best known today for his melancholic 'Bloodline: Big Family' paintings of the 1990s, Zhang had previously worked on a range of illustration projects.
Created for the Sichuan Youth and Children Publishing House, Zhang’s illustrations reimagine the beloved French tale through a distinctly Chinese lens. Blending the fantastical imagery of Henri Rousseau with figures from Chinese mythology, ethnic minority attire, and vegetation native to his home province of Yunnan, Zhang creates a whimsical visual world that reflects the cross-cultural exchanges shaping Chinese artistic production during this period.

Our Teen Curators's adventures continue! This week, students visited the Guggenheim (@guggenheim) for a special tour of ‘Father Country I Do Love You’, led by artist Taryn Simon (@tarynsimonprojects), who introduced the exhibition and shared insights into her artistic practice. Following the introduction, students had the opportunity to explore the exhibition independently, spending time with the works and developing their own perspectives.
Joined by Hill Art Foundation alumni, the group then reconvened for Teen Tuesday. Thank you Taryn Simon and the Guggenheim for welcoming our students!

Lu Yang's 'DOKU: Yama Māyā' takes the concepts of Yama, the Lord of Death, and Māyā as its point of departure. Through the continual transformation between digital bodies, traditional bodily performance, motion capture, Buddhist artworks from LACMA’s collection, and virtual environments, the work reflects on death, cyclic existence, and illusion, as well as how bodies, identities, and worlds are experienced as ever-changing manifestations. It further asks whether there is truly an absolute boundary between what we ordinarily call “reality” and digital or virtual manifestation.
DOKU, the artist's digital avatar, is shown dancing an Indian traditional dance and practicing 'Shua Ya,' a traditional Chinese theatrical performance that involves rapidly protracting and extending tusk-like teeth through movements of the mouth and tongue. The sonic component of 'DOKU: Yama Māyā', which plays out in the Foundation's galleries, was created by the artist and structured around Buddhist mantras that unfold along the logic of a sonic journey: purification, expansion, wisdom, propulsion, stabilization, purification again, transcendence, and finally vajraic manifestation.

Hao Liang's contemporary practice draws on traditional guohua techniques of ink and mineral pigment applied to silk, in order to produce luminous, otherworldly paintings. This ancient ink wash tradition becomes a vehicle for something new: a fusion of historical reference and futuristic speculation on Chinese life, rendered through astral, surrealist landscapes populated by arhats, enlightened Buddhist disciples.
‘Red Nose’ (2017), a triptych, exemplifies this tension between continuity and reinvention. Across three panels, distinct color palettes of brown, blue, and green unify three nearly identical men. At first glance, they read as a single figure repeated, a study in sameness. But closer looking reveals divergence: subtle shifts in eye color, hair pattern, and fine detailing distinguish each man as an individual.

On November 3rd, artists Liu Xiaodong (@liuxiaodongstudio) and Yu Hong (@yuhongstudio) will convene at the Hill Art Foundation to discuss their paintings on view. These paintings were both created in 1993, during their first visit to New York as young artists. As they mingled with and befriended artists in and around New York, including John Ahearn (@jahearnart), they learned and grew as artists themselves. We hope that you will join us in looking back to this pivotal moment in both of their careers. After the talk, attendees can join us for an exclusive preview across the street at Lisson of Yu Hong’s solo exhibition, Field of Asura. The show, featuring all new paintings, opens to the public the following day.
The conversation will be moderated by curator Xin Wang (@blancdexin). The event will be hosted at the Hill Art Foundation. Doors open at 6pm and the program will begin promptly at 6:30pm. Please RSVP at our #linkinbio

Our Teen Curators program continues! This week, students refined their thesis questions and visual analyses through a writing workshop, continuing to develop the critical skills needed for their final essays.
They then joined High Line Teens, Hill Art Foundation Teen Educators, and Pace Gallery Assistants for an exhibition tour of ‘Thucydides Fever Dream’ led by curator Xin Wang (@blancdexin), followed by a conversation between Xin Wang and artist Huidi Xiang (@huidixiang). The day concluded with a Q&A, giving students the opportunity to engage directly with the curator and artist and deepen their understanding of contemporary art and exhibition making.

At first glance, Li Songsong’s 'Ciao Ciao' (2022) appears almost entirely abstract, composed of thick slabs of impasto that create a fractured plane of color texture. Upon closer inspection, however, a historical image emerges: a photograph of Stalin’s funeral in 1953.
Li fragments the source image into a grid, transforming the photograph’s ordered composition into a chaotic tableau. Legible references dissolve into heavily textured marks, yet the historical image never disappears entirely. Suspended between abstraction and history painting, Ciao Ciao considers how memory persists even as history becomes fragmented and obscured. In Li’s words, “The painting sheds the burden of the historical narrative, which becomes just a ghost behind the canvas.”

Debuting at the Hill Art Foundation, Wu Ziyang’s 'Narrowband Lover' (2026) is an AI-generated video exploring digital infrastructure, algorithmic intimacy, and the post-human crisis of emotion. The video draws from Wu’s family history: his uncle works for StarTimes, a Chinese media company with an extensive television presence across Africa. Its programming includes Hello Mr. Right, a reality dating show adapted from the Chinese program If You Are the One for African audiences.
Grounded in this network of cultural and technological exchange, Narrowband Lover reimagines the dating show format through AI-generated characters and interactions, transforming the search for romantic connection into a “post-human theater of emotion” shaped by algorithms and global media infrastructures.
