GROUP EXHIBITION

The exhibition reimagines shanshui through sculpture, moving image, sound, design and architecture, and ink painting, searching for signals across contemporary mediums. Exceptional paintings and prints by artists of different generations—such as Yang Jiechang, Xu Bing, Zao Wou-Ki, Wesley Tongson, and Guo Hongwei—demonstrate formal and conceptual experimentations with landscape. The dense telecommunication networks that overlay our physical world are made perceptible as a new kind of landscape through an iconic LED installation by Tatsuo Miyajima, a selection of electronics from M+‘s design collection, and major video installations by Liu Chuang, Amar Kanwar, and Nguyen Trinh Thi. Other highlights include a sculpture garden featuring Isamu Noguchi’s galvanised steel sculptures, activated by Vivian Wang’s site-responsive sound installation.Over the course of its two-year display period, Shanshui: Echoes and Signals will be punctuated by regular rotations of works by major international artists, architects, and moving image makers. A range of curatorial and public programmes, as well as special moving image presentations at M+ Cinema, will expand the speculative thinking and visceral experience of landscapes beyond the galleries.
