Shen Shaomin and Zhang Dali Exhibition
Klein Sun Gallery
This event has ended.
Both Shen Shaomin and Zhang Dali explore the complex situation of contemporary China through innovative projects that offer dynamic perspectives not only about their country, but more broadly, on the human condition. They are two of the most influential Chinese artists of their generation.
This exhibition includes work from two of Shen Shaomin’s projects, Experimental Fields and Bonsai. Experimental Fields explores ideas of religion, evolution and genetic engineering through creating fictitious
creatures out of small animal bones that become a hybrid of plant and animal.
Zhang Dali is in fact a close friend of Shen Shaomin and although as artists they diverge in many respects, ultimately they are both trying to understand society through art.
