Blue Room
by Long March Space
Location: Arken Museum of Modern Art, Denmark
Artist(s): YANG Shaobin
Date: 22 Jun - 23 Sep 2013

Blue Room is more than just the title of this exhibition. It also describes the atmosphere within the exhibition hall, and encompasses the plight of all living things in nature." -- Yang Shaobin  

Inspired by the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, commonly known as the Copenhagen Summit, Yang Shaobin began collecting news clippings of stories of individuals gravely affected by pollutions or natural disasters. He transformed his research into "Blue Room", a visual essay juxtaposing portraits of the powerful and the powerless, confronting us with the tragic consequences caused by the willful ignorance of mankind.

"Blue Room" was first shown in 2010 at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing. We are proud to announce that it will now be shown for the first time outside of China at ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Denmark.
