In this video, Jose Tence Ruiz takes us through 'The Carbon Footprint of the Stoic Heroic,' his solo exhibition at Silverlens where he explores current events that disturb and provoke him: from the horrors of genocide to the migrant crisis to the sanctimony of religious conservatives. 'The Carbon Footprint of the Stoic Heroic,' the latest solo exhibition in Jose Tence Ruiz’s 50-year career, combines the artist’s social, historical, and personal inquiries as he continues to explore past themes, embarks on new questions, and reflects on his place in an increasingly chaotic world.

Silverlens proudly announces that The Tukad Kad Sequence #04 by Yee I-Lann is now part of the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Since the 1990s, Yee I-Lann has explored the intersection of personal stories and post-colonial histories. In 2018, she began to produce mats with the Dusun and Murut women of northern Borneo as a way to recenter the narrative of Malaysian history to the indigenous communities of Sabah, where she was born and raised.
