Beijing Commune is pleased to announce the solo exhibition “Hong Hao AS IT IS” on 26 November 2011. The exhibition will last until 26 February 2012. This will be the second exhibition of Hong Hao at Beijing Commune.

Literally, As It Is means “do the right thing at the right place”, or “adopt measures suiting local conditions”. When a person talks about something different according to the existing truth or rules, he is acting what we called “as it is”. As the title of exhibition, it also prompts the method that Hong Hao works in: by borrowing the form, function and denotation of everyday objects, he creates a “new” that wouldn’t make the viewers feel distant and strange. By showing this new series of the artist’s installation works, the exhibition aims to present Hong Hao’s recent reflection on the inner logic of social mechanics.
