In this scene, a blue-haired dragon boy sits on the curved rooftop of a traditional Chinese building. His long, turquoise hair flows behind him, and dragon-like antlers sprout from his head. Around him, the roof is decorated with stone statues of Chinese mythical creatures. One stone Qilin is chasing two birds flying overhead. The golden glow paints everything in a soft, dreamlike hue. The boy gazes into the distance, surrounded by the protective presence of these ancient creatures.

Sydney Shen, "SBNO (Standing But Not Operating)," 2024. Installation view, Riverside Park South, 2024. Courtesy the artist and The Art Students League Of New York. This sculpture takes the form of something unsettlingly in between a metronome, carnival ride, and anatomical model. Metronomes measure time through beats akin to the human heartbeat, beats per minute rapidly increase in response to arousal. As an artist, Shen is interested in ambivalent emotional states such as fear and wonder, pleasure and pain. Shen’s sculptures destabilize motifs of the macabre. As a roller coaster enthusiast, Shen is fascinated by how theme parks sublimate the thrill of near-death into a form of amusement. This speaks to an innate human desire to be moved–physically and metaphorically–beyond our limits.
