“Double acting” is a traditional performance art, originating near the end of the Qing Dynasty. This two-person performance foregrounds one performer, who must physically act out the story behind told by the second performer hiding behind him.

The exhibition Double Act places artists in conversation with non-artist others and the urban environment. It is an interplay between logic and absurdity, reality and imagination, surface and substance, self-contradiction and mutual unity, rationality and existentialism, whole and part, art and its context, traditional culture and the culture of consumption, socialism and capitalism.
