Microscope is very pleased to present the first 2024 edition of our emerging series YES with a screening of works by New York-based artists Nancy Dayanne Valladares and HSURAE. The roughly 60-minute program of works by Valladares and HSURAE — who also collaborated on two of the videos — delve into the microbial universe that constitutes our existences, approached from the perspective of infinitesimal, often genderless, perpetually roaming organisms to which life, subject and object, time and space take on very different meanings than those we are accustomed to as humans. The two artists also appear in some of the works such as their collaborative piece *Panspermia* — a title borrowed from the theory that seeds of life exist all over the universe and travel across it — the artists are seen floating in space in a simulated zero-gravity environment, resembling micro-organisms isolated and observed through a microscope. Valladares and HSURAE will be available for a Q&A following the screening.

Her image-based practice delves into the formation of optical tools and their accompanying visual regimes. Nancy’s practice closely examines photography’s historical entanglement with botanical imaginaries and chemical legacies. *HSURAE* is a predisciplinary (artist, designer, researcher, educator) in the sense that each function is inseparable from the next, bracketed in consideration of the “pre-”. This prefix, the thing that comes before, the prefatory, is pre-reductive, is pre-particulate, is a generative field that they position their work within. Their artistic medium, like their self, is never pure object, never pure subject; ranging from hot glass to fibroblasts, passports to fecal sports. This agential infidelity renders itself visible at the mercy of metaphysics, science and technology studies, posthumanism, food studies, critical race studies and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Hsurae has been shown internationally, including: Taipei Fine Arts Museum, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, MAXXI Rome, European Cultural Center, TORN theater space, Dubai BAIT15, Taipei Digital Art festival, Medialab Prado, Weisner gallery, Sakiya Palestine, Grand Siecle gallery, Yiri Art Gallery, Olfactory Keller NY amongst others. Artist residencies they’ve taken part in include SymbioticA, hangar.org, MedialabPrado, _V2 institute for the unstable media, Coalesce bioart lab and Urbanglass.
