Hard Play

Fragment Gallery New York · Chelsea
Exhibition on view: Jun 4, 2026 - Jul 11, 2026

Hard Play brings together Amanda Atria, Hyoju Cheon, and Yixuan Wu around sculptural practices that treat the object as a site of psychological and social projection. Toys, therapeutic devices, domestic tools, and industrial fragments are displaced from utility and reconfigured as unstable protagonists — a pipe reading like a limb, a support becoming a spine. Working between Minimalism and Surrealism, the artists refuse autonomous objecthood: forms lean, sag, and threaten collapse, performing bodily instability rather than describing it. Play appears here as repetition and discipline; care as labor, repair, and the management of fragility.
