Curated by Isabel Balzer, the exhibition “From West to East to Space” showcases Jost’s exploration of cultural identity and social space through pink. It spans her development from critiquing Western ideals to engaging with Chinese culture and culminates in the GJ 504b project, delving into the intersection of art, science, and technology. Through workshops, talks, and screenings, Jost invites viewers to contemplate the complex significance of pink beyond conventional perceptions.
