Chewing Gum IV continues Pace's sustained studies of the individual creative states of contemporary artists from different temporal, regional, and cultural backgrounds. 

Here, the everyday act of “chewing” alludes to the ways in which a globalized context tends to dispel, and even dissolve cultural differences, encouraging viewers to consider new interpretations and connections between the works on view. Featured artists include Kohei Nawa, Kenneth Noland, Thomas Nozkowski, Adam Pendleton, Michal Rovner, Tony Smith, Xiao Yu and Zhang Xiaogang.
