Prayers to Fornax: Science, Technology, and SpiritualityHyundai Motorstudio BeijingBeijingJul 18âDec 13, 2026 For an exhibition whose subtitle invokes âscience, technology, and spirituality,â âPrayers to Fornax,â curated by Hyundai Blue Prize+ 2025 winners Yifeng Wei and Penny Dan Xu, is guided less by futurity than by epistemic humility.
