DauLang is delighted to present NH: Beneath the Commune, the first exhibition by Tai Shani in South Korea, and the inaugural show at DauLang’s Yongsan space. Tai Shani (born 1976 in London) is a Turner Prize-winning, London-based artist who works across a variety of media, bringing together writing, sculpture, installation, performance, photography, painting, and film. Highly literary, Shani’s practice draws from classical mythology, esotericism, and the feminist science fiction of authors such as Octavia E. Butler and Marge Piercy to create intricate narrative worlds that seek, in the words of the writer Bridget Crone, ‘to expand the bounds of the feminine’. In her texts, and in the visual and performance work that derives from them, Shani draws the reader/viewer into imaginative worlds of eroticism and violence that deterritorialize bodies and destabilise genders to imagine pre-patriarchal pasts and post-patriarchal futures.
