Press Release

Tang Contemporary Art is proud to announce the opening of Xu Qu’s solo show Rejuvenation on 13 March 2021, at 4 pm at the gallery’s second Beijing space. The show was curated by Sun Dongdong.

This exhibition will present ‘Rejuvenation’, a new series created from 2020 to 2021, including nearly twenty works of painting and installation. Xu Qu’s solo show Straight Line at Tang Contemporary Art Hong Kong just ended in February. From the enormous moai sculptures on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) to the spiritual embodiments of Western theories of civilisation to the politicised vision of miniaturised landmarks in the Beijing World Park, Xu Qu summons dialectical images and the possibility of rejuvenation or resurrection from more distant geographical scales and nearer sites of circulation.
