Pioneering video and multimedia artist Wang Jianwei is known for his conceptually complex, multi-faceted explorations of the contemporary Chinese reality. Using elements of theatre, philosophical inquiry, artistic methodology and \u201cscripted accident,\u201d he seeks to illuminate the in-between, that poorly-defined grey zone where most of us live\u2014and where most of the really interesting things happen.<\/p>\n
In\u00a0Yellow Signal\u00a0, Wang Jianwei\u2019s first UCCA solo show, the familiar yellow traffic light is both signal and signifier, demarcating the territory between red and green, permission and prohibition. An exhibition designed specifically for UCCA\u2019s Big Hall, Yellow Signal is an evolving process, an ongoing exhibition that will unfold in four consecutive parts.<\/p>\n
Chapter One: Making do with Fakes\u00a0features eight videos projected upon four large gateways, or portals. Exhibition-goers can choose from which side they enter the portals, which in turn affects the way they experience the projected images.\u00a0Chapter Two: \u201cWe know what we are doing\u2026\u201d\u00a0is an installation of several thousand basketballs and a maze of linked basketball hoops snaking throughout the exhibition hall.\u00a0Chapter Three: Internal Conflict\u00a0presents a series of dynamic mixed-media installations, while\u00a0Chapter Four: Go to the Conference Room on the 13th Floor\u00a0for Free Films features a rubber staircase and an attempt to create a \u201cphysically impossible space.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yellow Signal\u00a0is an open invitation for audiences to stay tuned, to return again and again to experience each stage as it happens, and to become an integral part of an evolving process.<\/p>\n
