Exhibitions / Festivals 2016:
《ESCOLA DE LÍNGUAS》
Sá da Costa Atelier / São Roque Museum, Lisbon, Portugal
18 May - 4 Jun 2016
Collective exhibition with the residents of Mart Art Residency.
Installation 《Come in, please》
Due to the apartment-like nature of the exhibition venue, I decided to arrange my space as a bedroom. In addition to the basic furniture, there is a huge mirror facing the door diagonally, so that people passing by can peek into the room through the mirror.
The three walls of the room are covered with my paintings.
During the opening ceremony, I lay on the bed three times. When I lie in the room, people hesitate to come in. Even if they know that this is an exhibition area, the private situation caused by the smallness of the room will make them ashamed to enter. And when I am not in the room, some people would even lie in the bed to rest.
Like the paintings I hang in the room, I am very interested in the exploration and expression of privacy. The whole room seems to be a part of my body that I have opened up and invited others to watch. The whole room is also dialoguing with the audience, like my substitute. Compared with the bright and smooth, I prefer those awkward and tense moments. It seems that only those details are unforgettable and real.
