Grasshoppers, cicadas, and frogs shout, mantises, locusts, and snakes surge with undercurrents, insect eggs, and dew spiral in form. It is a patch of mixed green, a whole &#8220;rhizome.&#8221; Here, I want to recreate the &#8220;Re-attach&#8221; game of my childhood.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like assembling the head of a cicada that fell from a summer tree with the body of a grasshopper, or combining the dissolving and decaying animal bodies in wild grass with mineral stones; holding specimens to connect with distant bungalows through perspective; I want to connect plants to mountain caves&#8230; I freely swap all the &#8220;heads&#8221; within my sight, combining seemingly unrelated materials: animal legs, biological humans, plants, fingers, cavities, houses, spiral green dots &#8211; dissolving the barriers between the abstract and figural, and the spectral and physical.<\/p>\n<p>I experience the creator&#8217;s fun, feel the expanded signals released by neurons, and the hair behind foreign materials, the light of the medium. Rejection, reorganization, arrangement, and alternation, like a cosmic explosion that occurred 13.8 billion years ago, where all galaxies and everything within them, all mass and matter, could fit into a space smaller than an atom.<\/p>\n<p>I build, stack, and discover the structure of the cosmic exit and entrance hidden in the traversing space, achieving entry and exit in the spatial dimension. It&#8217;s like finding a tubular wormhole that connects different locations within the same universe, or even two separate universes, enabling interstellar travel.<\/p>\n<p>The head and the body it connects to shuttle, subatomic particles reorganize, recombine in the internal environment; the original head floats, trembles, compresses, dissolves, reorganizes, embeds, and generates automatically, with the body becoming a new head to continue the new cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Everything is in a state of change, a game of switching intermediate states.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014Wang Xin<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":8338,"template":"","tags":[85],"exhibitions_type":[8],"class_list":["post-8330","exhibitions","type-exhibitions","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-wangxin","exhibitions_type-museum-exhibitions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions\/8330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibitions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8330"},{"taxonomy":"exhibitions_type","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions_type?post=8330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
