Fixing Air

So Far

The mixing of different worlds, playful interventions and commentaries on everyday reality are the main themes
in the work of artist Hester Oerlemans. Leaving no medium unexploited, she consistently shows a perception of the world around her which is both poetic and critical. In drawings, videos and sculptures, she makes an effort to unravel the object until its essence shows. No matter whether she busies herself with the art world, urban space or our personal surroundings, she hits the nail on its head.

The Leftovers

Hao Lin
Dancing girl

I made a fictional historical type of work this time. It comes from specific texts of real historical events. It shows the event of dance girls’ against the ban on dancing. I separated some textual objects from it, but the author did not personally experience the event. He explored the panorama of the event by searching, reviewing and researching historical archives of relevant parties, books and oral history, as well as a comprehensive analysis of these materials and in-depth thinking.

The sociologist Maurice Halbwachs proposed the concept of “collective memory” in 1925, and this concept was later extended. It believes that researchers can study how to remember the past through landscapes or spaces through topics such as ceremonies, monuments, museums, and war journeys. But all interpretations are unstable, the truth is a meaningless concept, and all narratives have their inclinations. Thinking about history is taboo? Perhaps because of this, fiction has an amazing appeal for both the creator and the audience.

In this exhibition, I tried to present a living literature on the basis of fiction. It evolved from oral history, not only remembering words, but also remembering forms and imagery. “Every true history is contemporary history.” I am not gonna tell you the whole story now, but maybe you can figure it out at the exhibition site.

Liu Yining

I used to want to have a tube of my own blood so that I could show it in my exhibition. However, the doctor said that “no, we have to destroy it, you can’t keep it.” Finally I got an inspection report.

My blood has entered the medical procedures of the society and will soon be gone. Obliteration of somebody components destroy the fake-self-sense of belonging and domination to the body.

I don’t own me.

A way of growing

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.

Another Brick In the Wall

Rolling Snowball 13, Djupivogur, 2020

Under The Bed Sale

The work is both of artist growth experience and a personal emotional reflection, as well as his thought towards life and the external environment. this is an interesting wall, perhaps you hate it at the beginning, but slowly, you are used to living in it and ultimately you will find yourself rely on it to survive and become part of it without knowing it.

TOWER OF MODERN

Harrison See was born in 1990 in his hometown of Perth, Western Australia. He initially began his professional career as a designer, studying a BA degree majoring in Product and Furniture Design, graduating from Curtin University in 2010 with the ‘Industrial Design Award for Excellence’. However, after working in the manufacturing industry for several years he ultimately made the decision to shift his focus to visual arts. Harrison then went on to graduate from Edith Cowan University in 2015 with the ‘Louise Macfie Painting Award’, and the invitation to return the following year to carry out a special honours research project. In addition, Harrison was also awarded one of the prestigious ‘New Colombo Plan’ Scholarships by the Federal Government of Australia, which funded his research allowing him to live in Shanghai for six months while he explored Chinese painting. While studying Harrison See has been exhibiting his artworks in group shows, both within Australia and overseas, as well as having his first solo exhibition just before he left for Shanghai in 2016. He also recently completed his honours degree and was asked to publish his research paper online through his university. His creative practice is now motivated by the pursuit of narratives that can effectively cross cultural boundaries.

Rolling Snowball 5, Djupivogur, 2014

Hanne Tyrmi (1954) is a Norwegian artist who is unafraid of using a variety of visual languages to achieve her goal. She is a visual polyglot who has a reputation for making sculptures, installations, videos and photographic works that invade the emotions like a benign virus. Her work is infectious and contact with it sets in motion a metamorphosis that brings about a healthy resistance to the emotional malaise of our time. There is also a sense of adventure in her work. Something she learnt from going out into the world without fear and with an open mind. For years she lived and worked in Brazil and South Africa and, more recently she moved her studio from Oslo to Xiamen, in order to work in Chinese workshops. She has ventured into the world of art unafraid of its conventional canons and she is willing to address issues many artists would shy away from. Her curiosity is focused on how one’s mind and body react when confronted by certain images and environments, on what happens to the viewer emotionally.
