In my holding - Opening Ceremony

Rossi & Rossi

On May 25, 2024, Antoni’s first solo exhibition in Asia opened at Rossi & Rossi. During the exhibition opening, an offering was given to Milarepa, who is considered to be one of the most famous Tibetan yogis and spiritual poets. According to lore, during Milarepa's time meditating in the cave, he ate nothing but wild nettles, turning his flesh green in color. We offer the leaf of a nettle to honor this time. 

Milarepa was a murderer who reached enlightenment in one lifetime. He is known for holding his hand up to his ear; some say he is listening to his own voice echoing back to him through the universe. Antoni offers him her sculpture “Behold” as a counterpart to his own gesture.
