The title of this exhibition “Rhizome”originates from the theory of a French philosopher Gilles Louis René Deleuze(1925-1995), who compared Rhizome to a type of complex cultural metaphor and the nomadic way of thinking. It represents an open, decentralized, ruleless diversified form. The Rhizome describes perfectly that Chinese contemporary art has created its unique path which is to grow during the integration and create the diversity during the growth. Therefore the exhibition chose to observe the Chinese contemporary art from three different perspectives: Multiplicity and Symbiosis, Continuity and Fission and Nonlinearity and Recodification.

Words Are Straw in the Wind – Solo of Li Nu

Dates: 21.12.2017-24.3.2018
Location: East Zone, Song Art Museum
Address: Grasse Road, Tianzhu Town, Shunyi District, Beijing, China

On the 2oth of December, 2017 the solo exhibition of Li Nu Words Are Straw in the Wind has been inaugurated in the ex-stable in the East Zone of Song Art Museum, the Newly opened private art museum of Wang Zhongjun, co-founder of one of the largest Chinese entertainment companies, Huayi Brothers Media. Li Nu has transferred the this place to a wild artistic space: 22 partition wall of the ex-stable covered by gold foils, partly hidden sculptures, haystacks scattered everywhere, thousands of pigeons crowding in the exhibition hall, interweaving with the sound of the bell.

The Chinese title of the exhibition “甚嚣尘上” is cited from Zuo Zhuan, the ancient Chinese narrative history that is traditionally regarded as a commentary on the ancient Chinese chronicle Spring and Autumn Annals (Chunqiu 春秋), which expresses an arrogant attitude toward things o people whereas the English title is a proverb that refers to a minor event or action that predicts or foreshadows a future event.

” The language of art is differente from the oral o written words. It will be unnecessary writing if speaking works, it will be unnecessary performing if writing works and it will be useless to express oneself in an artistic way if performing works…… The art is absolutely luxury, only when you are able to understand it will you own it.” Said Li Nu.

Over the past three decades, Xu Bing has followed multiple threads of thinking and created a variety of artworks, impressive in quantity and style. Clear in expression and sharp when tackling issues, Xu Bing’s work is sui generis among contemporary art and he keeps influencing the landscape of Chinese contemporary art at different levels. This exhibition, for the first time in mainland China, presents a comprehensive and concentrated survey of Xu Bing’s art. Yet it is not a simple retrospective nor summary. Instead, through artworks, the exhibition reveals Xu Bing’s artistic method and the core motivation of his constant thinking.
