Scarcity as Inheritance and/or What the Small Hand Remembers
Victor Payares & Li Xia
Nanning Tea House, Guangxi
18 October – 18 November 2026
By Appointment Only
Cuba and China established diplomatic relations in 1960, though the histories connecting them reach further back. This exhibition considers what endures through changing systems: the marks of labour, the persistence of memory, and the gestures through which knowledge passes between generations.
Victor Payares paints through accumulation and erasure. Across three works, surfaces become records of what has been altered, concealed and left behind.
Li Xia attends to what ordinary life discards. Pork trotters rendered in stone, sit against red plastic recalling the bags used to carry meat home from the market. What was once consumed becomes stone; the everyday becomes a vessel for memory.
Three aged Liubao infusions bring another measure of time into the room. As tea is poured, a guest may tap the table in thanks—a small gesture sustained through repetition.
What survives change? What do our hands remember when the world around them transforms?
O.T. | 茶水之道
Oscar Tuazon Solo Exhibition
Nanning Tea House, Guangxi
5 September – 15 October 2026
Opening Ceremony: September 2, 6pm
By Appointment Only
Oscar Tuazon sets conditions. Material decides. Two blown-glass orbs (sun and water world). Three works on paper combining marbling technique with spray paint—two capturing water's movement, one rendering a sun. Records of what the artist cannot control.
This is 茶水之道—the Way of Tea and Water. Understanding material nature so thoroughly you work with it rather than against it. Wu wei. Effortless action. The artist and material collaborate.
The opening ceremony presents China's Six Major Teas. Same principle: tea masters guide fermentation without forcing it. Water and leaf collaborate. What emerges belongs to neither alone.
Cindy Chinn: Not Your Typical Artist
Cindy Chinn
Gallery 92 West, Fremont, Nebraska
September 3–25, 2026
Opening Reception: September 3, 5–7 PM
Cindy Chinn refuses to choose one material. Pencil lead. Metal. Glass. Paint. Ceramics. Large-scale sculpture. Most artists settle into a signature language. She never agreed to that.
This exhibition brings together the full range of her practice—something that almost never happens. Over a dozen pencil carvings. Sculptures. Paintings. Watch how the logic stays consistent across all of it. That consistency across radical difference is the work.
The pencil is the most overlooked tool on any desk. In her hands, it becomes a monument to what attention can do.
The Great Harvest
Oscar Tuazon, Jason Meadows, Eric Wesley
Daxin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China
18th August to 1st of September, 2026
By Appointment Only
Three American artists bring existing investigations to a remote mountain village in southwestern China. Their work was not made for this place. But in this place, it finds unexpected resonance.
Oscar Tuazon's water paintings and glass orbs sit alongside a river the Zhuang have managed for millennia. Jason Meadows' fractured typeface meets a language that refused erasure. Eric Wesley's interrogation of currency meets an economy rooted in agriculture and pigs.
This is what happens when two knowledge systems meet as equals.
