Rindon Johnson: Best Synthetic Answer
On View through April 6, 2025
Rockbund Art Museum
Huqiu Road No. 20, Shanghai, China
Best Synthetic Answer is an experimental seven-month, ever-evolving exhibition project by American artist and poet Rindon Johnson. Emerging from a series of discussions between Johnson and RAM artistic director X Zhu-Nowell, the exhibition navigates the complex geographies of the Pacific, interrogating traditional notions of borders, fixed territory, states, and ecocide.
