YANG QIONG – The Pond

2013.07.21 – 2013.09.12

Press Release

is the first attempt for the returning of the traditional value. Its intention is to discover and re-create the language and content which match our identity in past civilization.

The creation in this exhibition draws inspiration from the Feng Shui pond in those common ancient houses. The works selected those old appliances (porcelain, furniture, statues, etc.) in different dynasties as the material, to make up a story full of metaphors with imagery of “waste objects” and “empty pond”. It expresses a realm of “exist but empty” by the means of “things have changed with the lapse of time”, to stimulate the audience to think and realize the relationship between “the past” and “today which will soon become the past”.
