When Ranran Fan can’t figure out a solution to a problem, she does the only thing she can: she invents one. From handmade objects to computer-based encryption systems, Fan’s invented devices are each a matter of necessity, designed to address issues or challenges that she has faced as a woman, as a Chinese citizen, and as a foreigner and person of color in the US. In Brutally Sensitive, Fan transforms the NO LAND space itself into a communication device: an enveloping installation involving large-scale digital art, poetry, video, and more. The exhibition goes on view on Saturday, August 6 with a reception from 6-9pm.
