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.
