Hermetic Worlds and Total Constellations

An Artist Talk with Stella Zhong

Hermetic Worlds and Total Constellations: An Artist Talk with Stella Zhong
In conversation with Martin Germann
2:00 pm
 
Through a practice spanning film, sculpture, installation, and painting, New York–based artist Stella Zhong contemplates dense concepts, such as nuclear semiotics and geometric topologies, as well as everyday materialities, like specific textures of food. Oscillating between the macro and micro, each of Zhong’s individual works come together to create total constellations, worlds in and unto themselves. In this conversation with curator Martin Germann, Zhong will discuss the expanse of her practice, offering insight into her first solo exhibition in Germany, opening during Gallery Weekend at Trautwein Herleth.

Stella Zhong (b. 1993, Shenzhen, China) is an artist based in New York City. She holds a BFA in Glass from Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from Yale University. Her work has been included in recent exhibitions at Para Site, Hong Kong; The Power Station, Dallas; Leeum Museum of Art, Seoul; and SculptureCenter, New York. She has had solo exhibitions across Europe, North America, and Asia.
Martin Germann is a curator who lives and works in Berlin and Kyoto. He specializes in site-resonant exhibition projects and until 2025 he was Adjunct Curator for the Mori Art Museum (Tokyo), where he worked on exhibitions including “Machine Love – Video Game, AI and Contemporary Art” (2025), “Our Ecology – Toward a Planetary Living” (2023–24), and “Another Energy – Power to Continue Challenging – 16 Women Artists from around the World” (2021). He was previously Head of the Artistic Department at S.M.A.K. in Ghent (2012–2019), a curator at the Kestner Gesellschaft Hannover (2008–2012), and a team member of the 3rd and 4th editions of the Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art.
