Press Release

ShanghART Gallery is pleased to present Liang Yue‘s screening Mind Rehearsal in Building No.8 at West Bund from September 7 to October 7, 2019, showcasing twelve video works Liang Yue produced from 2016 to 2019.

This screening is a fragmented and emotional project, without any specific plan. Using “Mind Rehearsal” as the theme, the project intends to display these occasional moods of hesitation, joy, peace or nothingness. Time is made up of scattered moments, so is life. —Liang Yue

Over the recent two years, Liang Yue has been focusing on the delicate integration of sound and image through writing and collecting silent, sensitive materials with her lens. Therefore, she invites the viewers to enter into a simple environment to sit down, and watch the videos like reading prose. It’s also a delightful shift of the artist’s viewing angle. After this screening project, Liang Yue will continue her exploration on issues of human and society.

She uses the easy-to-get materials with her acute art talents, keeps seeking, exploring and capturing the daily routines, and extending form concerning for the life in city to gazing the eternal scenery in the nature. A clear clue of her art practice could be witnessed in the massive works during the past fifteen years that the exploration for the beauty of insignificance, especially her videos, in which she keeps simplifying and abandoning the techniques of shooting and editing, challenging the art appreciation which the audience has been used to, as well as the viewers’ retina and eardrum, patience and rationality, and further questioning the so-called significance and value of art as she treats the meaningless as the ultimate significance of her creation. Her works remind us of the manifesto by Herzog stated in his Minnesota Declaration: Truth and Fact in Documentary Film, that:
