The Reemerging Mirror: A Retrospective Exhibition of Song Ling(1985-2013)
Artist(s): SONG Ling
Date: 26 Jul - 11 Aug 2014

The Reemerging Mirror: A Retrospective Exhibition of Song Ling (1985-2013) is the first complete presentation in China of works by Song Ling, one of the most important artists of the 85 New Wave Movement. The exhibition will meticulously present about 200 pieces of works from each phase of the artist’s career path and also a lot of documentation that has never been published. The timeline spans for more than 30 years. The title of the exhibition actually derives from the of the biography of Alain Robbe-Grillet, one of the main figures of the New Novel Trend. As a tool made by mankind to reproduce the fictitious image of oneself, a mirror possesses a speculative and philosophical nature that most of the objects lack of: it can be used for both self-observation and mutual contemplation. If specified to Song Ling’s exhibition, the metaphor of mirror implies the relationship between the objective existence of Chinese Contemporary Art and the subjective feeling of the artists. In this retrospective case, one can not only have a comprehensive look at the uniqueappearance of the artist's individual creation but also discover the evolution of Chinese contemporary art. The exhibition is an attempts to reveal the inner ideology of this historical art movement.
