Milk Gallery inaugures today Interstice, an installation by Andrew Thomas Huang. Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker debuts his first solo exhibition entitled Interstice, a multi-sensory film installation and selection of digital prints inspired by lion dances, demon-warding, and occultish functions and depictions of the veil and all it has come to symbolize. As an experimental filmmaker whose multidisciplinary works frequently incorporate live action, puppetry, dance and animation, Huang has earned a strong reputation for his collaborative practice with a diverse range of artists

Incubated out of Legs Media, Interstice features Huang’s collaboration with New York-based Flex dancers Bones the Machine, Brixx and Slicc, as well as artist-choreographer Jason Akira Somma, Grammy nominated musician CFCF and fashion designers threeASFOUR.
Interstice takes aim at constructing a century ritual inspired by Eastern and Western medieval orthodox practices of evil-warding and divination that “thin the veil” between this world and another. As Huang elaborates, Interstice presents the veil “as a self-contained magic trick: a shapeshifting second skin loaded with potential energy to manipulate identities, worldviews and temporal-spatial dimensions that would otherwise be rendered immeasurable in its absence. Interstice is an attempt to pass through the veil that obscures our collective vision to reach a space in-between. An interstitial space.”
