Past Exhibition

Before the vastness of all things, we are small; yet when we turn inward, we become impossibly specific. As in Solaris (1960), when humankind finally approaches the distant planet wrapped in its enigmatic ocean, the colossal sphere grows ever more concrete—and what reflects back is not the cosmos but the boundless, ceaselessly sought-after terrain of the self.

All Creatures Great and Small…?

The three words in the title of this exhibition are all verbs, which relates to another identity of mine—as a dancer.

Xiaohuan also makes his refusal explicit: even the name Xiaohuan itself carries a sense of plain, unperformed joy—something as grounded as soil, as natural as breathing, as present as the quiet happiness one feels while painting. Bu Huan(“Not Joy”) is not negativity nor resistance, but a gesture of refusal, a kind of stability: a simple rejection of the expectation that one “ought to be happy.” It recalls Walser’s notions of “non-action” and “withdrawal,” yet Hei Er Bu Huan (“The son is not joyful”) signals a refusal to cooperate: he does not choose to step away, he situates his life between the everyday and the canvas.

Like Father, Like Son

The artist Yuxuan Shao once asked ChatGPT which country “Anologue” sounds like it comes from. ChatGPT replied: “None.”
In fact, “Anologue” is a transliteration of “Anologue” —a word that came into being with its own strange logic. On the one hand, the original word “Anologue” means nothing—a typo, a slip of the artist’s hand; On the other hand, it exists precisely because when most people encounter words that are both familiar and strange, they instinctively break them down phonetically, syllable by syllable, slowly soften their foreignness with lips and tongue: ‘An-No-Lo-Go.’ That’s how it was born.

This is an exhibition about metaphor. All the images have wandered between civilisation and wilderness.

The exhibition seeks to disrupt the notion of ‘constancy’. Within the universally desired solidity of space and time, order conceals the first traces of possibility, while tranquility silences all dissenting voices.

In an era dominated by mind-numbing parameters, elements, and indicators, most modern individuals navigate their life scenarios and choices toward equilibrium and uniformity—perpetually laboring as the 'Tuner’ across professional and personal domains: sometimes almost without emotions, gendered characteristics, confronting heterogeneous realities through homogeneous labor.

In a time and space where matter and information are highly decentralized, a “postman” often rings the recipient’s doorbell repeatedly to ensure that those inside the house can clearly recognize the arrival of messages. For the recipient—whether anxious or long-awaiting—the news, good or bad, always arrives as expected after the second ring.

With the title text in mind, if a mark is found on the exhibition wall happens to take the shape of a snail, there might be a slight comfort in the heart.

Observation and summarization are not only the best ways humans learn, but also essential for artists to scrutinize themselves. The works of the artists, Qiheng Chen, Wendi Xie, Mengyun Han, and Joy Li, explore various themes:
