Current & Upcoming Group Exhibition: 

CLOD NIGHT

Opening: 15th, September, 2017

Date: 15th, September, 2017 to 17th, December, 2017

Location: Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art, Beijing

Curators: Boliang Shen & Zhanglun Dai

This exhibition grows from modern Chinese writer Ba Jin’s eponymous 1947 novel, which recounts the collapse of a family of intellectuals owing to domestic conflict against a background of national crisis. The curators invited the four artists, after reading the story, to play the roles of its four protagonists through their own artistic creation. Throughout the period of creation, the artists interacted with and responded to each other from their respective roles, forming a sort of creative collective built on the foundation of the novel. The final presentation of the exhibition is the artists’ response to their fictional personae as well as their current lived reality. The overlapping and mixing of these responses, in turn, structures a new space, a new text.
