Winner
LI Jia
In the way of "Drifting universe", Li Jia tries to regard China as a tissue slice and explore various forces shaping China`s mobile social landscape from different levels.
The exhibition through a survey of the most recent works from eight artists and three group projects that included the compilation of texts, archival structuring, on - site interactivity, physical literary and online resources, as well as a database and browsing platform, the exhibition encompasses a multitude of expressive forms and directions for potential practice responding to the theme of mobility from the logic of global capital within a specifically Chinese context.
LI Jie
"Boat Travelling on Land" is a retrospect and exploration concerning the influence of social mobility on the artistic creation and cooperation. Making full use of the intertextuality formed by on - site relief feature, river, light and shadow, this exhibition attempts to integrate artistic performances and public events of different time and space into an organic whole, hoping to explore a more lively mechanism of artistic generation completely different from grand narration.
The artistic projects presented in this exhibition include individual/group art acts and site - specific artistic practices from 1990s to recent years. These projects are originated from long - term crossover practice of artists. They activate or awaken water basin, history and network, together with the site of society connected with them including city, village and other aspects.
