CEAC exhibition
This is an exhibition of the recent works of Hu Tianyi and Li Wenqiang, focusing on life, nature and human beings. The common point of the works is to explore a way of growing. Whether the growing as metaphor is latent and creeping, or the relationship is adjusted in a material way, it is inseparable from human will and human manipulation. When we say something is growing, it may be spontaneous and natural. And when we talk about the way it grows, it means that the human subject is trying to understand the context of the situation. A driving force of life, always in alienation, mechanical, deem bodied, centralized…And so human creation is suppressed and ignored. Is the human subject driven by cognition to explore the source of his or her animality? Is there an urge to participate and change? How man confronts nature may depend on how he confronts himself.
