Beijing-based contemporary artist Zhang Yexing here eschews his usual warm palatte in favor of colder and more impersonal tones of blue and green. His characteristic ‘empty views’ offer viewers the opportunity for deep meditation and reflection. In this exhibition, the dank, shadowy white, green and blue shower curtain hangs like a human body in the center of one painting, while elsewhere Zhang’s highly detailed self-portrait also makes for moments of careful thought.
Until Jul 7; RMB20-30. Qiao Space.
In My Room: Group Exhibition

Six artists combine here across a wide range of medium, including video, painting, installation and sculpture to challenge our ideas of the self and our physical extensions. The title of the exhibition is taken from the title of a 1996 novel by French writer Guillame Dustan, in which the book’s hero finds himself investigating the value of his relationship with things and other people in Paris. Taking the idea of one’s personal space – a room – as the starting point, we are thus taken on an existential voyage through our thoughts on desire, comfort and value.
Until Jul 7, Antenna Space.
