Torkwase Dyson is a Brooklyn-based artist whose drawings, paintings, and live performances comment on the built environment and the hidden power structures laid beneath. London’s new Pace flagship recently unveiled a performative exhibition by Dyson, entitled “Liquid In Place,” which will be complemented by an online viewing of her lesser-known works on paper, aptly called “In Focus.”

As part of Pace Live, an exploratory platform at the intersection of multidisciplinary art, visitors witnessed an ethereal set of sculptures that Dyson meticulously complemented with sound and performance. Similarly, the works on paper, made using gouache, graphite, pen, and liquid charcoal, possess a mystery in mathematics — an analysis “looking at the efficiencies in our current built and natural environments and the relationships people of color have to them,” the artist said in a statement.

Quickly, one can detect the emphasis placed on distance in both her sculptures and paintings. Behind this abstraction is an investigation into histories of colonialism, environmental racism, and climate change. “Liquid In Place” was in conjunction with a number of exciting collaborators, including GAIKA, Harry Alexander and Maëva Berthelot, to name a few. “In Focus” is viewing online online until November 6.

Also on view, Refik Anadol is exhibiting a multisensory installation in conjunction with BVLGARI.
