Li Gang not only moves fluidly and playfully between different media, but is also constantly and seriously involved in the process of inventing new forms. He is an artist who reacts to everyday perceptions, while at the same time sounding out the depths of human existence and other fundamental issues that he is confronted with. In his most recent works for the exhibition “Between”, he has explored a number of new directions. A white pedestal featuring traces of red dye from 100 RMB bills leads to a unique exploration of the dialogue between money and art, while the work “Error” challenges the audience’s way of seeing, and pieces of coal containing rows of screws provide a starting point for his reflection upon the relationship between modern technology and nature.
