“One Hand Clapping,” the title of this exhibition, is derived from a koan—a riddle used in Zen Buddhist practice to transcend the limitations of logical reasoning—that asks, “We know the sound of two hands clapping. But what is the sound of one hand clapping?” The show presents new commissions by Cao Fei, Duan Jianyu, Lin Yilin, Wong Ping, and Samson Young in a range of mediums, from oil on canvas to virtual-reality software, that explore the ways in which globalization affects our understanding of the future. “One Hand Clapping,” on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum May 4–October 21, 2018, is the third and final exhibition of The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative.
