GROUP EXHIBITION

The passion for storytelling could be traced back to the primeval origin of humanity, and the sharing of stories never ceased. It added flavours to life by the bonfires; so did it breed our cosmic myths. The new exhibition invited ten emerging artists, including Jiang Xiaoyu, Li Xiaogang, Shao Fengtian, Su Yuming, Wang Heng, Wu Yifan, Xing Wanli, Xiong Haoqi, Ye Wuji, and Yu Xiangyue. Every artist constitutes an independent story unit with their works and writing, telling peculiar chapters from their creative journeys. These chapters are as individualised as they epitomise the collective story of this era; they are like gusts of wind and shivers of grasses that spread the message of Nature.

Among the featured artists, some represent personal experiences while others reflect on social realities; some excavate the roots of signs, while others give meaning to metaphors... Their greatest commonality lies in not seeking anything in common but recognising their subjecthood. This is significant because artists shall not append themselves to any group, but realise their individuality.
