Child of clay

‘Cardinal’; a wound, a threshold, beyond the rainbow, a requiem, a portrait of me as a shy dog with a piggy ass, fetishes and forevers. It’s open!

THE SPELL/THE DREAM is now live tune in/come see (link in bio)
I had often wondered what I would do if given the opportunity to create something very much in the public sphere. I have tried to make a work that can speak to different audiences in different ways. I hope that this uncanny blue giant will enchant kids in the way I was enchanted by fairytales, and later on by art. They are a dreamer under a spell, perhaps a curse, they are from elsewhere and in their dreams are elsewhere now too, an arrival under suspended animation.
This sculpture is a body dreaming under the spell and the radio is their dream. The dream radio is a 24hr transmission for the next 6 weeks, bringing together 80 artists, musicians, thinkers, writers as well as hours of archival materials, other radio stations and archives to create a terminal dream. This project belongs to everyone :) and I hope that one of its legacies is that public art can be many things and can be odd and uncompromised, and engaging and unexpected.
@maxwellsterling you have given them the kiss of life with this unbelievably stunning soundtrack - I am forever haunted.
I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart all the incredible people that have made it come to its strange and beautiful life.

This is a dream come true 😭 I lived in NYC in the 90s and never in my wildest desires did I imagine I’d make giant candles that would illuminate the city sky ♥️ thank you so much @ceciliaalemani and the whole team for this incredible invitation to grace @highlinenyc
The Sun Is a Flame That Haunts The Night
April 2025 - March 2026
LOCATION
On the High Line between 28th and 30th Streets
📸 @timothyschenck
For the High Line, Shani presents The Sun Is a Flame That Haunts The Night, a series of three candlesticks, a recurring motif in her work. Each almost cartoon-like candlestick is rendered here in urethane resin with a glass flame that glows at night. For Shani, whose work often explores themes of spirituality, mortality, and mythology, the candle holds many meanings. It can represent a vigil or memorial, while also symbolizing hope and healing. Candlesticks such as those depicted in The Sun Is a Flame That Haunts The Night also have links to manifestation, the occult, and witchcraft, all of which have become often closely associated with fourth-wave feminism—subjects that permeate the artist’s practice. Though melting candles often represent the passage of time, The Sun Is a Flame That Haunts The Night stays forever lit, paused on the High Line—a respite where one loses sense of time and space.

For the High Line, Shani presents The Sun Is a Flame That Haunts The Night, a series of three candlesticks, a recurring motif in her work. Each almost cartoon-like candlestick is rendered here in urethane resin with a glass flame that glows at night. For Shani, whose work often explores themes of spirituality, mortality, and mythology, the candle holds many meanings. It can represent a vigil or memorial, while also symbolizing hope and healing. Candlesticks such as those depicted in The Sun Is a Flame That Haunts The Night also have links to manifestation, the occult, and witchcraft, all of which have become often closely associated with fourth-wave feminism—subjects that permeate the artist’s practice. Though melting candles often represent the passage of time, The Sun Is a Flame That Haunts The Night stays forever lit, paused on the High Line—a respite where one loses sense of time and space.

This is a dream come true 😭 I lived in NYC in the 90s and never in my wildest desires did I imagine I’d make giant candles that would illuminate the city sky ♥️ thank you so much @ceciliaalemani and the whole team for this incredible invitation to grace @highlinenyc

I’m very honoured to have been invited by @_rosie_cooper and commissioned to make a permanent art work @wysing.arts.centre to commemorate the much missed and loved Donna Lynas, I called this one ‘A Symphonic Flame’ and it has an inscription that reads ‘eternal symphony of survival’. Donna invited me to do a residency at Wysing in 2017 and it was the first time I had uninterrupted time to work in the studio where I made work for ‘Andromedan Sad Girl’ a collaboration with angel of my heart @florence_peake this time and show changed everything for me, and almost 10 years later it’s still one of my favourite exhibitions ever 🩵💙 I also met @maxwellsterling there who also has been such a orientating star in the affective landscape of my work, It is hard for me to imagine how my life would look without that time and show and I’m deeply honoured to light an eternal flame to Donna and Wysing’s light ♥️

‘She was confronting something that I didn’t really have language for at all.’
In the early 2000s Tai Shani visited Valie Export’s major retrospective at Camden Art Centre where she was drawn to the artist’s mixed medium installation, ‘I (beat [it]) II’, 1980. The irreverence and rebellion demonstrated in the work allowed Shani to question the limits of art and personal devotion to artistic discipline. ‘It was unlike anything I’d seen’.
What’s one artwork that changed everything for you?

Tune in Tuesday 12 midday @nts_radio with special guest @taishani
Live to air show with some songs, conversations, relations between art, place, life and libidinal energies.
Looking forward to this one <3

I was lucky enough to make a show at @thecosmichouse in 2024 and some of its frankensteinian patterns have followed and crept into this beautiful little book that stitches surrealism’s messier inheritance, buildings that want to be bodies, and the eternal Promethean impulse.

Introducing the artists of “If All Time Is Eternally Present”: TAI SHANI
Tai Shani (b. 1976, London; lives in London) works across performance, film, and installation. Her practice uses experimental writing as a generative method, moving between theory and visceral detail to build fragmentary cosmologies of non-sovereignty. Drawing on mythic and historical narratives, she reclaims feminised aesthetics such as the floral, the visionary, and the gothic within a utopian and militant register. Among her major solo exhibitions are Somerset House, London (2025); Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati and KM21, The Hague (both 2023); and Manchester International Festival (2021). She has also participated in major group exhibitions including British Art Show (2021) and HKW, Berlin (2022). In 2019, she won the Turner Prize, and in 2025 she was awarded the High Line Commission in New York.

Tai Shani (n. 1976, Londra; vive a Londra) lavora tra performance, film e installazione. La sua pratica utilizza la scrittura sperimentale come metodo generativo, muovendosi tra teoria e dettaglio viscerale per costruire cosmologie frammentarie della non sovranità. Attingendo a narrazioni mitiche e storiche, riattiva estetiche femminilizzate come il floreale, il visionario e il gotico entro un registro utopico e militante. Tra le principali mostre personali figurano Somerset House, Londra (2025); Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati e KM21, L’Aia (2023); e Manchester International Festival (2021). Ha inoltre partecipato a importanti mostre collettive tra cui British Art Show (2021) e HKW, Berlino (2022). Nel 2019 ha vinto il Turner Prize e nel 2025 ha ricevuto la High Line Commission di New York.

Please post with some version of below:
I stand in solidarity with the signatories of ANGA’s demands and support their call to exclude Israel from the Venice Biennale.
The widening war we are witnessing did not appear overnight. It grows from years of normalizing Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its 78 year occupation of Palestine, allowing institutions to treat it as an exception.
Culture must not provide cover for genocide and the brutal aggression being unleashed on Iran and Lebanon.
No genocide pavilion.
No artwashing in our name.

I am beyond delighted that the @boijmans have acquired this installation, as well as the film ‘The Neon Hieroglyph’ into their collection - I feel very, very, very proud to be in such an epic, rich, significant, and inspiring collection! It feels unreal to have my melancholic gelato ghost amongst the work of so many absolute heroes of mine 🤍 all I have ever wanted in my life was to experience and give love, and to make my work in a state of a dancer in a dancing plague, guided and folded in to something beyond my grasp, and to swim dangerously!
