Aike-Dellarco is pleased to present Li Ran’s video installation "Another 'The Other Story' " in the Discoveries section of Art Basel Hong Kong’s inaugural edition.

The whole video installation contains a series of texts and documents including letters, oil paintings, photos etc. related to his father's art-related education and creation from the late 1970s to late 1990s and a new single channel video "Another Modern Artist'', where the artist acts as an imaginary modernist artist.

The title of the work refers to the exhibition curated by the critic Rasheed Araeen ( Hayward Gallery 1989), which pointed to the “absence of non-Western artists in the history of modern art.” In this work, the artist also presents one aspect of his father’s artistic career, which has accompanied his own specific practice of contemporary art. Hence he uses multiple perspectives to narrate another “the Other Story”.
