Orderly Heterogeneity

Orderly-Heterogeneity.jpg

'Order' (企理) is a term coined by Zou Yanxi, embodying her notion of cleanliness, tidiness, and order. Meanwhile, 'Heterogeneity (stands for heterogeneous Sequential Pattern)' (差序格局) was proposed, borrowing from sociologist Fei Xiaotong's description to illustrate how Zou Yanxi's work exhibits concentric layers radiating outward from a central self, along with dimensional variations around the center, forming a system of differentiated orders. Contrasted with traditional artistic methods, Zou Yanxi posits that contemporary art, through performance and installation, can connect more directly to the essence of 'experience,' offering a closer sensory translation. She seems intent on grounding the specificity of 'existence' and its meaning amidst the mundane aspects of daily life, hence her creations are predominantly linked to direction, territory, and corporeality.

Beyond Darkness

Starting with a painting, Yang Qian continues his experiments with light and color, gradually trying from the plane to the spatial, meticulously constructing a ritualistic theater that exudes a wonderful and sublime aura. In the absence of light, the space is silent, dark, and chaotic; when illuminated by lamps, the plain space is unremarkable; when exposed to ultraviolet light, the colors suddenly brighten, shining brilliantly like a starry sky, with vitality and hope flickering, spreading, and shining above the gloom, calling for a lightness and fulfillment of the soul, as well as peace and joy... In his continuous aesthetic experiments and materials, Yang Qian unleashes the pure charm of the visual to touch the retina and infect the soul.

Beyond Wildness

Bosco Sodi's largest solo exhibition in Asia, Beyond Wildness, unfolds at He Art Museum, curated in collaboration with the artist. Showcasing over 100 pieces, including paintings, sculptures, and site-specific installations, the exhibit situates Sodi's work within the museum's architectural landscape. Through the interplay of space and nature, Sodi's creations celebrate the raw essence of natural materials, blending organic elements with his deeply embodied artistic process to create a philosophical journey through wilderness and art.

The exhibition unveils Zhang Yunyao's latest work series, evolving from 'encyclopedic animal illustrations' since 2022. This exhibit marks a new chapter in Zhang's decade-long exploration of felt as an artistic medium. It features a compelling range of felt sketches based on ape imagery and a captivating photo series capturing zoo animals. Through his lens, Zhang invites viewers to question themes of existence, identity, and the blurred boundaries between humanity and nature.

Behind the Scenes Without Walls

In this creative process, the artist continues to employ the technique of pairing negative woodblocks with color fields. Various symbolic elements are suspended within the gallery space, forming "reliefs" infused with street culture. The exhibition space is akin to the "backstage" of a theatrical performance, where visitors can freely navigate through the installation, experiencing the shifting perspectives and visual angles with their bodies. From the "front," the pure color block compositions offer an open and expansive view; while from the "back," viewers can only gaze at the symbolic arrangements from specific, deliberate angles.
