Project Description

Cheng Wei

Chen Wei addresses social issues and documents human values and desires through his photographs of still lifes, empty interiors, and staged nightclub scenes. Whether capturing dark, deserted interiors or dance club portraits, Chen’s works are marked by a dramatic, cinematic quality. Chen is best known for the “Float” series, which calls attention to China’s prohibition of large gatherings, except in the case of nightclubs. Simultaneously sad and beautiful, the images reveal temporary escapes from a restrictive reality—a sense reinforced by the deliberately exaggerated, dream-like settings. Culling inspiration from the daily news and everyday life, as well as artists such as John Cage, Wolfgang Tillmans, Martin Parr, and Zhang Jungang, Chen is more concerned with capturing the outcomes of dramatic conflicts than showing the stories behind them.

Yu Lai

Yu Lai (CHINA) an artist who uses an artistic method to represent the delicate forms of ancient creatures will exhibit a piece entitled “Life Boat,” a mixed media on canvas.
Geologically, Yunnan province is quite rich in resources from Proterozoic era up to the present. Its diversity of species of marine and terrestrial creatures make it known as a rare biological museum for the world.
“I first started the series of ‘Echo of Ancient Life’ in 2001; at that time, the Kunming government entrusted our company to set up an ‘Ecological Gallery,’ and the original idea was to create some bionic architectures following the form of ancient fossil’s prototype,” said Lai.
“For some reason, this project was held up; but  I began to try other possibilities beyond the idea of bionic architecture because I wanted to continue my dream for this creation,” said Lai.
