Toolish Behavior
Sep 2025
Clive Davis Gallery
Read Press Release
Read Toolish Manifesto
Read at Whitehot Magazine
The idea of “creative process” is often used vaguely and magically. This show insists otherwise. Creative processes are full of decisions, resistance, constraint, and invention. Tools are one of the places where that process becomes visible, tangible, and deliberate. By putting tools and works side by side, the show opens up the logic behind the finished works and the paths that lead to the results. The show does not aim to simplify the creative process but to reveal how messy, iterative, inventive, and reproducible it really is.

Labels? Labels! TBD originated as a challenge to artists, tasking them with crafting exhibition labels for conceptualized yet unfinished artworks. The resulting exhibition unfolds in two distinct dimensions. It encourages artists to reimagine the conventional role of exhibition labels, pushing them to experiment with form, materials, and narrative. This results in expressive pieces that boldly assert their autonomy and challenge traditional notions of what constitutes an artwork.

Read Press Release
The manipulation of artificial imagery is another term to describe Yanjun’s paintings. Juxtaposing bold synthetic colors and earth-toned mineral paints, Yanjun creates her utopia in a kaleidoscope. The recurring symbols of painted transparent materials and their evolving reflections further enrich her creative process. Through her art, Yanjun presents artifacts that embody the true strength and fortitude of humanity, leaving viewers awestruck. So, the next time you glimpse a girl with a tiny puppy navigating across this bustling city, do not be deceived by the apparent cuteness. After all, beneath that exterior lies an immensely formidable force.

As a diasporic Asian artist of Korean origin who has lived in Canada, France, Italy, and the U.S., Jessica has always had a complex relationship with the notion of cultural identity. Yet, her discontinued sense of “homeland” and disorientation from the clashing cultures have given her an unexpected gift, her own ways of carpe diem. As a ramification of her diasporic experience, she creates worlds consisting of different cultures and fragmented memories and identities, where she inhabits multiple characters and places all at once.

Read Press Release
Read at Artron雅昌新闻Inspired by surrealism–works that investigate the subconscious dreamscape and unveil the poetic or even the absurd, this show represents the creative attempt of contemporary Asian artists to materialize and tame the uncanny minds. In the context of metaverse–a decades-old term–coming into trend over the past months, we believe that the works of art we present in this show vitalize the digital world. Those artworks inject livelihood into the seemingly intangible world of imagination and offer access to each and every one of the audience. Conceive presents you with the testimony of the otherworld and shows the conceived spaces that were embryonated by artists’ prolific minds.
