Shen Xin attends "NEITHER BLACK/RED/YELLOW/NOR WOMAN"

NEITHER BLACK/RED/YELLOW/NOR WOMAN

Exhibition Period: 2019.09.28 - 04.01
Curator: Nikita Yingqian Cai, Xiaoyu Weng
Artists: Chang Wen-Hsuan, Dachal Choi, Chitra Ganesh, Jane Jin Kaisen, Iris Kensmil, Sylbee Kim, Mai Ling, Laura Huertas Millán, Sara Modiano, Mai-Thu Perret, Thao Nguyen Phan, Arin Rungjang, Shen Xin, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Evelyn Taocheng Wang, Wang Zhibo, Luka Yuanyuan Yang & Carlo Nasisse, Mia Yu
Venue: Times Art Center Berlin, Brunnenstr. 9, 10119 Berlin, Germany

Neither Black/Red/Yellow Nor Woman is rooted in the conceptual reenactment of works and archives of the artists Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (1951-1982), Pan Yuliang (1895-1977) and Trinh T. Minh-ha (b. 1952). All three of them have inspired artists, writers, cultural practitioners, and intellectuals of different generations to imagine and produce their own world images. Departing from a fictitious encounter of the three protagonists in 1979, the exhibition tells stories of women who search for their artistic voices, and whose identities haunt them while empower them—regardless of their various cultural, geographical and historical contexts. Their travels take them along colonial memories before and after the Second World War and through chaos induced by the ideological camps of the Cold War. Conflicted histories and individual narratives were pushed into the background by the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc, but re-emerge as contemporary paradoxes: East and West, North and South are spectral doubles of each other; democracy and totalitarianism become two sides of the same coin. Against this background, the exhibition is conceived as a conversation between “them” merging with “us”, as a polyphony of cross-border storytellers who juxtapose historical materials with fictional constructs and speculate beyond categorisations of gender and culture.

Shen Xin attends "Materializing Memory: Contemporary Video Art from China"

Materializing Memory: Contemporary Video Art from China

Exhibition Period: 2019.09.05 - 10.11
Curator: Ellen Larson
Artists: Chen Dandiz, Lin Ke, Liu Yujia, Shen Xin, Sun Wenhao
Venue: University Art Gallery, Frick Fine Arts Building, University of Pittsburgh, USA

Materializing Memory presents the work of five young Chinese artists, all born after 1980. These artists are part of China’s balinghou and jiulinghou (post-1980 and post-1990) generations. Unlike earlier practitioners, they came of age following the dramatic economic and cultural reforms of 1978. Through the medium of video art, these artists explore contemporary Chinese society during a period of profound technological and urban transformation. Their work is deeply informed by the Internet, rapid economic development, international communication and exchange, as well as opportunities to earn advanced degrees abroad. These videos document personal and collective experiences. Some record individual feelings of boredom and isolation, while others investigate broader social contradictions and complexities within China and beyond. Together, these works illustrate the plasticity of contemporary experience, and ask what it means to remember during a time when progress accelerates the urge to forget.

DING LI IN GROUP EXHIBITION "THE KIND STRANGER"

THE KIND STRANGER

Exhibition Date: Aug. 24-Oct. 20, 2019
Artist: Xu Wenkai, Bi Rongrong, Cédric Van Parys, Chen Zhou, Ding Li, Feng Bingyi, Fito Segrera, Geng Jianyi, Guo Cheng, Hefin Jones, Hu Jie, Hu Jieming, Ji Wenyu & Zhu Weibing, Jin Shan, Li Shan, Li Ke, Liu Ren, Liu Yi, Louisa Galiardi, Marc Lee, Maya Kramer, Nick Ervinck, Onformative, Liao Yijun, Rena Giesecke, RMBit, Shi Yong, Shi zhiying, Su Chang, Xu Weijing, Wu Yiming, Xiao Jiang, Xu Zhe, Yan yi, Yutaka Makino, Zhang Ding, Zhang Haimeng & Zhang Xiaojing & Yan Zhongrui & Feng Kai & Lu Yunbo, Zhang Liaoyuan
Curatorial Team: Yan Xiaodong, Long Xingru, Bo Zhifei, Zheng Yunhan, Liu Jing, Zhang Yingying, Chen Xian
Venue: UNArt Center, No.150 North Nanquan Road, Pudong, Shanghai, China

Titled as "The Kind Stranger”, the show aims to reflect and to some degree respond to the new conditions and scenarios of contemporary human society driven by the accelerating technological revolution. The entire exhibition is based on a fictional scenario: “The Kind Stranger”, as the protagonist of the story, is a character who lives “post-singularity”. The exhibition is reminiscent of an investigative scene in which the “private collections” of this “kind stranger”, whether in physical or digital forms, are uncovered. The site remains ambiguous in its temporal or spatial anchor, whilst inviting the audiences to locate, even orient the items, the text, the sound and vibe, even him/herself, as part of the story to enjoy a psychological retreat from the year 2019, and the city Shanghai

"Here are 11 video works by 10 artists, but I have placed them in a "hearing" loop and arranged them in such a way that only one video will be audio-visually synchronized at any given time; all other videos will be played in silence, so that the viewer will have to follow the lead of the audio and look at everything with their ears." - Wang Paopao 2019.7.29

Opening: Aug. 28, 2019 3:30 - 7:00 PM
Exhibition period: Aug. 28, 2019 – Oct. 19, 2019
Venue: KWM artcenter, 201, East Tower, World Financial Center, No.1 Dongsanhuan Zhonglu, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China
Artist: Chen Ying

KWM artcenter is pleased to present Chen Ying’s first Beijing solo exhibition from 8.28-10.19 2019. The exhibition presents 8 new oil paintings. Chen Ying’s most recent work further investigates his interest in abstraction offering an array of aesthetic possibilities for the audience.

The crash of figures, abstract scenes shaped through overlap and transformation, the blurring of lines between concrete and abstraction, along with the uniqueness of his aesthetics, left a deep impression on the audience when Chen Ying hosted his solo exhibition “Reality & Regeneration” in MadeIn Gallery in 2017. In the subsequent two years, Chen has continued to explore the relationship between figures, styles, perspectives, colours and materials.

Throughout the exhibited works, as well as diversion of perspectives and transference of vision, certain relationships which derive from, catalyse, entangle and are designed amid figurative construction, lines, materials and colours, are formed. Canvases are imbued with various shapes and lines, as a result of which, the structure and strength of his working process comes into being. The constant shifting of perspectives, combined with the clash, deformation, extrusion and deviation due to geometric figure’s correlative induction and counteraction, delivers an elasticity and fluidity to the painting.

Diverse figures, styles, perspectives, colours and materials drawn by Chen Ying are partly designed, partly by accident. Shape, colour, dynamic relationships and structure interplay and evolve, organically and by chance, bringing about an energetic playfulness. At the same time, the artist mingles daily emotion and aesthetics into the works, without limitations and through deliberate implication, presenting abundant changes and movement composed through duplication, different frameworks, visual tussles and conflicts.

Li Hanwei designed “Liquid Health” in order to present today’s cultural formulas in the practical and effective manner of publicity. The artist does not observe Chinese phenomena with a Western gaze, but rather adopts abundant local resources in his artistic work. By doing so, he emphasizes the cultural landscape in China's special environment rather than just focusing on issues of pan-capitalism, like most post-internet art does.

“Who Cares” (until Mar. 30 2020) is the follow up of the exhibition “What's up Doc?” which took place at New Galerie in October 2017. The exhibition reflects on the ongoing relationship the gallery has, on how valuable is the care we put to things and persons is, and on how the artists relate day to day to their practices and objects. While the trauma described in the first exhibition was also a zone of creation or even comfort, the care can be seen as a claim, a perversity, a dilution of oneself or a bitter irony. "Who Care" includes selected works by Miao Ying (Fresh Images) and Wang Sishun (Truth, and If...)

FENG MENGBO, MIAO YING, XU ZHEN® in "CHINESE WHISPERS", MAK, Vienna

“CHINESE WHISPERS” is an exhibition by the MAK, Vienna in dialogue with the collector Uli Sigg and in cooperation with the Kunstmuseum Bern and the Zentrum Paul Klee. Uli Sigg has been following the development of contemporary art in China since the late 1970s. In the mid-1990s, he started putting together the world’s most significant and representative collection of Chinese art. The museum creates a discursive platform by contrasting works from the Sigg Collection with objects from the MAK Collection. This interplay highlights China’s contemporary art production as well as its aesthetic or iconographic references. The historical object becomes a vision machine for the contemporary.
