Art+ Shanghai is pleased to announce the launch exhibition at its new location.

Through the work of five artists in video, painting, sound and installation, Being/Nothing explores the schism between what existential philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre referred to as being-in-itself and being for-itself and the Taoist concept of Wu Wei or action without desire, motivation or intention. The exhibition likens the creative process of the artist to that of a Buddhist practitioner reciting sutras or creating a mandala, emphasizing the journey of meditation/practice rather then the end production (work) displayed. New works and live performances will be showcased throughout the exhibition duration. 

Curator: Diana Freundl
