Artist(s): GROUP SHOW
Date: 29 Aug - 5 Oct 2014
Mizuma Gallery presents Beyond Stuff, a group show curated by Sueo Mizuma, owner of Mizuma Gallery. This exhibition features ten artworks by Ai Weiwei, He Yunchang, Li Mingzhu, Xia Xing and Zhao Zhao, five leading Chinese contemporary artists.
Beyond Stuff contains artworks that look like sculptures and paintings of random ordinary objects and events. However, when we look beyond the ordinary “stuff” and into the profound context of the artworks, they are in fact filled with significant commentaries on their country’s society and politics. The works are influenced by recent events that relate to the themes of authoritative power and freedom of speech. They are a reflection of the reality of society. The statement made by the artists through their artworks is what gives this exhibition an edge. Beyond art, this is a stand for what they believe in and an encouragement for others to continue taking the fight in life.
