Zang Kunkun-Walking Here and Now

April 28, 2023 - July 9, 2023

WHAT
Curated by German curator and art historian Ruth Noack, the exhibition is a compilation of six series that have been strung together with visual clues and concepts. The artist’s work has long revolved around the mundane nature of the contemporary city. Adopting public images and objects as his artistic vocabulary in a playful and teasing way, he reveals the Chinese urban landscape as a slice of the world, and contemplates the public meaning of images and symbols.

WHY
In the rapidly-developing urban daily life of China, the artist tries to deconstruct the representations of the city in a manner and approach that is self-deprecating, with a touch of dark humour. Audiences are invited to rethink these everyday objects’ meanings in their lives and in society while viewing this exhibition, and to contemplate on a deeper level what cities have come to represent in modern society.
