Tianxing Xu’s The Duet’s Carnival presents seven pairs of works—paintings, works on paper, and a sculpture made with Sangmin Lee—rooted in memories of regret and panic. Drawing from Baudrillard, Xu uses repeated signs, glitches, and color codes to construct fictional logic and artificial order. Each work appears in a pair, invoking physical and conceptual duality, inviting viewers to confront simulation, illusion, and the possibility of forming a duet with one’s double.
