Arch Gallery is pleased to present the Summer Exhibition “shifting boundaries”. The artists recent works will be on view from June 19 until August 9, 2020.

The rapid development of information globalization and technological revolution is the inevitable result of economic demand. For the generation that is in the post network period, it has been greatly impacted both mentally and materially. The diversity and fuzziness of personal identity eliminate the traditional definition of identity. People’s sense of identity for thinking and exploring their own identity is a contest between the objective things and the thinking movement. The “contest” referred to here is more of a metaphysical thinking and concept, which is an abstract substance. When we say that matter determines consciousness, we often define human consciousness as a subjective understanding of the objective world. “Boundary dissociation” is like a journey of consciousness running in the direction of shackles.

Nietzsche once said, “the world is full of restlessness, because everyone is eager to liberate from their shackles.” It’s a kind of imprisoned state in which the spirit is attached to the entity. It is also an existence of struggle of inner exploration brought by people’s thinking and questioning about the established realistic boundary. The multi-dimensional experience and interpretation of the proposition of oneself is the source power of people’s feelings between the virtual and the reality. It makes people have the ability to see the essence from different perspectives, and all the essence starts from the truth of the “self”.

The artist divides “being” by constructing “consciousness”, which forms the view of mutual observation between virtual and reality. They use the interlaced perspective to search for themselves and constantly re-recognize them. They start from the natural state of human beings, and explore the naivety of human beings. Boldly expose the nature of human society changed by the progress of time and things.

The six artists in this exhibition, CHEN Zhou, LIANG Hao, aaajiao, FENG Chen, LI Shun and SIMA Yuan, use different medium and creative languages to convey different subjective, emotions through objective phenomena from the perspective of space, sense, history and time.

ARCH REVIEW | Making Complicity

When the painting is really close to us, the first thing that appears to our eyes is this Le cimetière marin[1] written by Valéry in 1922. The curators Hu Yihang and Zhang Tingzhi, together with artist Guo Yujian, divided the exhibition “Dangerous Complicity” in the gallery into three chapters with words and symbols: imagination, a plateau, and a theatre.

ARCH REVIEW | Gaze in the Dim Glow

“The Task of Alchemy”, Pocono Zhao Yu’s solo exhibition at Arch Gallery, presents a subtle sense of time traveling. As the title of the exhibition alludes to, it is as if the smelting and mysterious deeds of some spiritual objects. Within the whisper that fluttering outside of time, this enormous task is under the invisible dome of time.

ARCH REVIEW | Guo Yujian :Dangerous Complicitiy

When looking at Guo Yujian’s works, what have been depicted is always in a state of flow, and the secret words that are related to each other become images that avoid us and approach us. The work that takes shape on the canvas in our sight is yet to come, in transition, about to embrace change, and it will not push us away until the feeling is fulfil.

ARCH 采访 | 薛若哲

“绘画没有办法不诚恳,这是一种无法伪装的媒介。我对绘画的诚恳和机械的、拾得的图像产生的化学反应感兴趣,尤其是当网络图像和铜板线腐蚀这种必须要经过转化才能成型的绘制方式相遇,就形成了有意思的关系。”

豆豆也是拳拳

1985年在北京中国美术馆举办的《劳申伯格艺术展》让中国人近距离地看到了“后现代艺术”的形态,这些展品让中国观众目瞪口呆:山羊的标本,汽车的轮胎,废弃的地毯组成了前所未见的图腾。在展览期间,保洁员差一点把作品误作是垃圾清理。

ARCH REVIEW | 眼前

当我们把“看见”这一行为比作打开一个空房间的房门,看着这件物体的视线和它存留下的痕迹像是打开门后产生的余音,我们无法准确的追寻余音回荡的轨迹。不断地“看见”,新的东西累积产生同时,不可避免的产生了遗忘与消亡。一张照片保存了一个时间的瞬间,通过回忆,某些时刻得以持续存活,不相关瞬间的外观孤立了出来成为“科学家的信息、摄影师的引用”
