Andrew Liang – Double Barrel

June 7th – 28th, 2013

Space 1026 is pleased to present Double Barrel by Andrew Liang.

“There are two nostrils on mostly every human being’s face.  Under normal circumstances, both nostrils in-take and out-put air.  These works are my most recent endeavor to celebrate my ability and opportunity to utilize my nostrils.  If one of them has itched, both have been picked. Double Barrel!”

Andrew Liang was born in Taichung, Taiwan and moved with his family to Dallas, Texas at age 13. Andrew moved to Baltimore, Maryland to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art where he currently works as an Exhibitions Preparator and continues his studio practice during moonlight hours. The writings and drawings of Kazuo Umezu, Junji Ito, Haruki Murakami, and Akira Toriyama have influenced him a great deal. Aside from studio pursuits, Andrew co-directs an artist run art space, the Current Gallery, with his dear friends Monique Crabb and Michael Benevento. These collective projects, as well as traveling and listening to music with his friends is the core inspiration of his art.
