Beijing Commune is pleased to present Out of Place, a group exhibition featuring works by Chang Yuchen, Ge Yulu, Hu Xiaoyuan, Li Binyuan, Li Shuang, Edie Siyi Xu, Zhao Zhiliang, and Zhou Yilun, from 26 January to 2 March 2024.
Spanning sculptures, videos, installations, and site-specific paintings, the works on display open up a multi-layered experience tunnelling through different interfaces and portals: the screen, the lens, the curtain, and the door. While entrance often implies a metaphorical segmentation between the past and future, contemporary life dwells on the threshold, constantly prompting retrospection and prospection only to attest to their fecklessness and futility. Weaving a tapestry of ill-timed encounters, the exhibition spotlights a range of perceptions and adaptions, or non-adaptions, with the artists’ works oscillating between metamorphosing and decaying, revelling and mourning, and remembering and forgetting.







Founded in 2004, Beijing Commune is now located in 798 Art Factory, Beijing. Its initial programs were mainly group shows exploring various currents in contemporary art while now it primarily focuses on solo shows to carry on the in-depth research.
