Schiefe Zähne is delighted to announce Kein Charakter, Phung-Tien Phan’s (b. 1983) second solo exhibition with the gallery. Across the gallery’s two rooms, two new series of works are presented in a distinct spatial separation.

The first is a continuation of Phan’s Dino Phan series: sculptural assemblages incorporating everyday, often domestic, objects built around Ikea toy dinosaurs. In this iteration, the identical dinosaurs wear clown-like pom-poms on their noses and are mounted on individual rolling wooden boards. Long sticks fastened vertically to the boards evoke tall grass or prison bars.

The second room simulates a cityscape: canvases in various sizes, painted in dark shimmering colors, mimic an abstracted skyline. A naively rendered stick figure wanders aimlessly among the towering facades. As disoriented as enchanted, it navigates a world saturated with images, choices, and expectations.
