Over the period of last year Beijing based artist Zhou Wendou prepared his latest project: The Study.

In this solo show he focuses on academic objects like desks, world maps and books. It is specially the print media what attracts him, the knowledge conveyed through books, newspapers and maps.

Referring to the online advertisement slogan ‘Hundred must read books in a lifetime’ (Baidu), Zhou Wendou searched 100 copies of second hand books including classics like ‘Journey to the West’, ‘Dream of Red Chamber’ or ‘The Little Prince’. In this massive conceptual work he tries to rejuvenate and question the global knowledge of modern times by recycling and remodeling them into new forms and shapes.

Based on thoughts and previous experiences this exhibition is a totally new attempt. The Other Gallery is proud to present this unique project including sculpture, installation and paintings.
