TRAFFIC finding a shape and place my early works were often inspired by the phenomenon traffic three elements that i find interesting are (1) the seemingly randomness of how things take shape (cars, roads), (2)the fact that one always takes a place and thus blocks someone else’s and (3) the ‘loop-factor’: traffic seems to endlessly behave the same (crossroads) while at the same time it consists of individual entities that do nòt loop (the single car or pedestrian).

MACHINES disappearing from those issues of taking a place and a shape, my interest shifted towards the question how to avoid this in a series of movies i wondered how to disappear this is especially clear in the animation series ‘machines’ where six machines, made in a machine (the computer) attack their source and stop functioning.

CERAMICS simple shapes with a function after the machine series i decided to leave the computer and stop illustrating this idea of self destruction also i wondered why i would copy the world (in animation) i decided to just make shapes with a function since 2011 i’ve been making wheelthrown ceramics.

The Lasting Future of Imagined Communities”

Jin Jing now lives in Xiamen, China. Jin got B.A. in Shanghai Maritime University in 2006 and M.A. in Xiamen University. During the graduated years in Xiamen, Jin once worked as an art teacher and curator in Xiamen University and Tan Kah Kee College. In 2010, Jin went to Netherlands to pursue graduated study in Sandberg Instituut， awarded the Master of Fine art. After returning to China, Jin mainly devoted to visual art of installations and art project planning. Her art works have been exhibited in Beijing Today Art Museum, Redtory Art+Design Factory, Hague City Hall, European Ceramic Work centre, De Appel Art Center, W139 Art Center, Chinese European Art Center (CEAC), European China Center Rotterdam, American Selby Art Gallery, Three Shadows Photography Art Centre, and other domestic and foreign art exhibition institutions.

Jing Jin’s practice focuses on the constant questioning of the experience of life and the feeling of existence. She is accomplished in showing the contradictions acquiesced in today’s society with a sense of humor from the parallel view both as spectator and participator. Her works often retain a Sequential sense of calmness and distance, conveying “meaning” to their opposites while presenting “meaning”. The additional contrasting ideas, such as the poetic and the rational; the wasteful and the efficient; the playful and the utterly serious, are also explored and exhibited inside one frame in Jin’s work.

Liu Yuanyuan was born in 1990 and now lives in Xiamen, China.Graduated from Xiamen University and awarded Bachelor of Aesthetics. In 2013, Liu founded the brand of MSPECTER in Xiamen. As a curator, Liu curated various art activities like Black’s Cutting and Materializing Consumption.

Liu Yuanyuan’s artistic practice takes her-ideology as an object to interpret and research. She outputs her ideology into a visual spectacle, which evolves from abstractive to minimalist, and finally returns to a phantom.Based on the entities created during her exploration, Yuanyuan is building up a self-consistent system, named “The Bottle Theory”.

I AM A MOUNTAIN

Rolling Snowball 8, Xiamen, 2017

Rolling Snowball 10, Datong, 2017

In different ways and with diverse media, the Dutch/German artists Katrin Korfmann and Jens Pfeifer investigate cultural identities and juxtapose unfamiliar and common ideologies. The result of their three-month residency at the Chinese European Art Centre is a surprising manifest of how entrenched we are in our own culture, even though we are living and creating art in a globalized world where we can easily set up a temporary studio on the other side of the earth.

Do you have WeChat

Jessica and Stephane are CEAC resident artists from the USA. Jessica is an international artist who has exhibited in Rome, London, and many US cities. She is a graduate of Yale University cum laude. This piece will invite audience participation and is an interactive cultural commentary. With the inescapable presence of social media and smart phones, how has technology changed the way we connect with each other? What have we gained and what have we lost? “Tea Time” investigates this question within the cultural context of a familiar ritual. “Do you have WeChat? investigates this same question in another way.
