Tang Contemporary Art is pleased to announce the group exhibition A Thousand Waystations, which will be held from April 26th to June 18th, 2025, at its Beijing 2nd Space. Curated by Fiona Lu, the exhibition brings together works by Chen Shaoxiong, Li Binyuan, Li Qing, Liu Yujia, Shang Yang, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, Wang Du, Xue Feng, Zhang Jian and Zheng Guogu.
The Waystation, interpreted as an arrival forever in process, serves simultaneously as the capillary system of ancient empires and a temporary anchor point in our era of flux; it is both a relic of history and a seed for the future. In a time when GPS carves the world into centimetere-scale grids, humanity paradoxically finds itself adrift in unprecedented disorientation. The ‘borderless’ myth woven by capital and algorithms seeks to flatten all geographical folds. Here, the ‘Waystation’ is reimagined as a strategy of resistance, transmuting into a non-hierarchical geographical poetics. Spanning from Deleuze’s rhizome network to the neural impulses of the digital age, from salt stains on the desolate wilderness to data dust in the cloud, the works of ten artists in this exhibition are like layers of temporary coordinates scattered across the earth, marking the migration trajectories of body, data, nature, culture, and spirit. Beneath the smoothed surface of a certain globalisation, they carve out untamed folds. This is neither a point of origin nor a final destination, but a critical threshold where countless possibilities erupt, signaling the nomadic destiny ingrained in human genes.
