dates

10 February — 30 March 2024

The Space Between is Ivan Lam's most intimate exhibition to date. Comprising sixteen new paintings and works on paper, the show turns its attention to the small durations and quiet intervals of daily life — the pause before a word, the breath between actions, the moment of suspension that is neither here nor there. Working with oil, wax, and photographic transfers, Lam builds surfaces that hold time within them.

Wei-Ling Gallery presents The Space Between, Ivan Lam’s seventh solo exhibition. The show emerges from a sustained period of studio practice in 2022 and 2023, during which Lam developed a new body of work exploring interiority and pause. The title gestures at the artist’s longstanding interest in threshold conditions — the spaces that exist between states, between decisions, between one self and another.
