Alfred University alumna Tan Mu ’15, who earned a B.F.A. degree from Alfred University, has artwork currently being shown as a solo exhibition at Peres Projects in Berlin, Germany.

The exhibition, titled “DAWN,” explores the history of humankind’s evolution and technological advancements in her luminous oil paintings which she bases on found and taken photographs. The exhibition includes 13 works made over the past three years, including group paintings that each address important cultural markers—an embryo, the atomic bomb, and even the earth itself. This marks Tan Mu’s second exhibition with the gallery, and is a continuation of her first solo exhibition, “Signal,” at Peres Project’s Milan space.

Tan Mu’s work is being shown at several international arts fairs this fall. She recently exhibited at The Armory Show in New York City (Sept. 9-11). Today (Oct. 13) and continuing through Oct. 16, she will have work exhibited at Frieze in London; her work will be shown at Art Basel in PARIS Oct. 20-23.
