This exhibition marks Dennis Oppenheim’s first presentation in Hong Kong and China, offering a rare insight into the conceptual and spatial strategies of one of the most influential figures in postwar American art. A pioneer of Earth Art, Body Art, and large-scale public sculpture, Oppenheim’s practice has evolved over four decades into a critical engagement with scale, materiality, and site.

Known for his monumental transformations of everyday objects—such as oversized wine glasses or garments—Oppenheim’s work interrogates the boundaries between the functional and the symbolic. Since the 1990s, he has increasingly turned toward the politics of public space, producing site-specific commissions across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Presented at Para Site Art Space, this exhibition features models and drawings of six major public art projects, including commissions for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Denver Justice Centre, and Crystal Mountain in Spain. These works illuminate the artist’s sustained commitment to sculpture as a social, architectural, and conceptual proposition on a global scale.
