UCCA presents Zhang Ruyi Speaking Softly, the artist's largest institutional solo exhibition to date. The show brings together more than 20 new artworks commissioned by the museum, comprehensively presenting several creative threads from the past decade of the artist's practice, as well introducing her recent explorations of transparent materials.
From 23 December 2022 to 9 April 2023, UCCA presents Zhang Ruyi, Speaking Softly. As Zhang Ruyi's (b. 1985, Shanghai) largest institutional solo exhibition to date, the show features more than 20 new works commissioned by the museum. These pieces offer a systematic overview of how the artist has adopted cacti, concrete, grids, and other elements as symbols through which to explore the relationships between people and society, people and architecture, and the natural and industrial worlds. Speaking Softly also offers the first focused presentation of Zhang's use of glass, plastic films, and other standardized, transparent materials, reflecting on transparency's myriad connotations. 'Zhang Ruyi: Speaking Softly' is curated by UCCA Curator Neil Zhang.
