15 Orient is pleased to announce two solo-exhibitions, Redistribution by Seth Price and Selected Works 1978 - 2000 by Hudinilson Jr.
Installed throughout the east rooms of the gallery, the Seth Price's Redistribution centers on the latest iteration of Price’s long-form video work Redistribution. Also on display is a selection of “corrected arms:” glowing tubes wrapped with fabric printed with Price’s highly detailed photographic portraits of skin.
Redistribution, 2007 – 2025 (ongoing), originated as a lecture with video and slides delivered by the artist at the Guggenheim Museum in 2007. Soon after, Price began transforming the museum’s original recording by editing, overdubbing, and incorporating extensive new material. The resulting, ever-evolving work merges fiction, performance and essayistic film, and has been released in ten discrete versions to date.
Price’s aim was to develop for himself “a box to hold anything,” and the video’s themes range widely: painting from the Paleolithic to Bruegel, menswear clothing design, Thomas Edison’s patenting innovations, the history of plastics production, 3D graphics, wine connoisseurship, the digital sampling of the human voice, and more. In recent iterations, autobiographical themes have emerged. The newest version includes street photography from Price’s early years in New York at the turn of this century, footage of the artist making sculpture from wild grape vines during the pandemic lockdown, and conversations with his daughter about mood-boarding.
While Redistribution has been exhibited throughout Europe and Asia– and screened occasionally in the United States, including a theatrical run at New York’s Metrograph Cinema–this is the first time the work has been installed in a gallery context in the U.S.
Redistribution will open alongside Hudinilson Jr., Selected Works 1978-2000, a solo-exhibition of works by the late Brazilian artist on view in the gallery’s west and central rooms.
Seth Price lives and works in New York City. His work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions including the Aspen Art Museum (2019), MoMA/PS1 (2018), the ICA London (2018), and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (2017). He participated in Documenta 13 in 2012 and the Venice Biennial in 2011. In New York, Price is represented by Petzel and Reena Spaulings Fine Art.

Hudinilson Jr
Selected Works 1978 - 2000
In Collaboration with DM Office

June 21 - August 2
The practice of Hudinilson Jr. (1957 – 2013 São Paulo, Brazil) is protean in nature, having encompassed performance, activism, public actions and interventions as well as a myriad of discrete objects. Much of this work unfolded against the backdrop of Brazil’s repressive military dictatorship which began in 1964 and, in 1968, imposed official state censorship over the media and other public platforms, exerting near monolithic control. This volatile atmosphere drove Hudinilson Jr. to exploit its fringes, undertaking guerrilla-like action under the cover of night, from defacing the city’s abundant commercial advertisement to high-jacking its public monuments (with the collective 3NÓS3) to undermine their armored posturing. Amidst this milieu, the artist cultivated a sense of boundless formal experimentation, drawing from the city’s thriving underground scene, queer nightlife as well as pockets of freedom afforded by art schools and museums.
The latter proved particularly fruitful as it granted access to a Xerox copier, a technology not yet readily accessible to the general public. Beginning in 1977 – 78, Hudinilson Jr. began exploring the expressive possibilities of xerography, using his body directly on the scanner bed. The resulting images blur the line between index and gesture, fluttering in and out of legibility as the body is cropped and reconfigured into abstraction. This provided a clear through line to a polymorphous vernacular that also included assemblages, drawings, paintings, collages as well artist’s books – his ‘caderno de referência’ – an ongoing project continued until his passing in 2013. These visual archives are less finished works than open-ended annotations that offer a glimpse into a rich, informal cosmology.
This exhibition is realized with the gracious cooperation of Martins&Montero, São Paolo and Brussels.
Hudinilson Jr. Selected Works will open in conjunction with Redistribution, a solo exhibition by Seth Price on view in the gallery’s east rooms.
