Solo Exhibition Project - Unnamed Road

This exhibition is ZHOU Songkais personal project, curated by GUO Yujia and LYU Yinuo as executive curator. The visual-audio assemblage of artists painting and moving image summon the site as a road of walking.When the road stretches itself to its end,it is the moment that the road begins-----reciprocates as such. Such reciprocation means lingering in this alienated but acquainted field, as if a vagrancy in homeland. Viewers wander here, and the works here reveal and open themselves in their regarding on this walking road, hence the very time the name of this unnamed road is summoned. Zhou SongkaiZhou Songkai was born in Henan, China in 1992. He studied filmmaking, literature and aesthetics at the China Academy of Art and the Royal College of Art. His works focus on the dialogue between the individual existential condition and the collective memory of public life. He continuously explores and inquires about the kinship between natural elements and human beings, as well as the historical traces of landscapes and objects in the living space of the current technological era. The road serves as a metaphorical imagery in his works, weaving the individuals personal experience of fate and freedom, existence and emptiness. His works span a diverse range of forms such as poetry, painting, film, photography and other artistic media. In his film works, he utilises non-logical implicit narrative to explore the visual poetics of cinematography in the flow of time.

Art Exhibition - Debut

The leading creator attempts to focus on the average age of 70 years old who living in the remote areas and having been engaged in the primary industry for a long time. They think those people also have the right to express art. Those old people use their nearly a century of world cognition and the most primitive impulses to paint. They record their life, painting state, and the changes after painting, and then display these "virgins" and video materials to show their different life and artistic practice status. This is the first one of their works, and perhaps their last one.

Multi-media Installation Theatre - Star

Star is an experimental artistic work which discusses the art inheritance. When we look up to the sky and watch the numerous stars, it is hard to imagine that the light of star has already gone through hundred millions of light years. That brightest star we can see now may have long gone. How about the dissemination of arts? Those maestros whom we adore today have already passed away; while their works are just as bright as the stars, which attract future generations to study and explore. The world without the works of these maestros is just like the pitch-dark universe without the light of stars. In the work, we take light as the carrier. With the combination of music, dance and image, we convey our enthusiasm and insistence to art to the audience from the bottom of our heart.
