MIAO XIAOCHUN AND AI WEIWEI IN BERLIN

February 1st, 2011, 7 pm, Opening
MIAO XIAOCHUN | BEIJING HANDSCROLLS

In his works of the series BEIJING INDEX / HANDSCROLLS the Chinese photographer and media artist Miao Xiaochun deals with the traditional form of hand scrolls. The digital scroll paintings show completely unspectacular, like accidentally found locations of the Chinese capital. The idea of nature of the old masters meets the chaos of acceleration. Prof. Dr. Klaas Ruitenbeek, director of the Museum of Asian Art, National Museums in Berlin, will give a short introduction in the work of the artist.
In cooperation with

CHEN GUANGWU AND WANG SHUGANG IN BEIJING

WANG SHUGANG | THE OPPOSITE HOUSE

Wang Shugang sculptures are presented by RedBox Studio at The Opposite House. Wang demonstrates an exceptional command of the traditional medium in his sculptures, combining the figuration of 20th century Realism with Buddhist iconography and scenes of daily life in China. His main focus is to present groups of anonymous figures that comment on the essential relationship of the individual to his immediate society.

In cooperation with ALEXANDER OCHS GALLERIES BEIJING.

January - March 2011
The Opposite House, Sanlitun, Beijing, China

January 29th, 2011, 3 pm, Opening
CHEN GUANGWU | SHELL

In the new works by Chen Guangwu, born 1967 in Liuzhou, Guangxi/China the artist, who himself describes as a pure calligrapher, combines tradition and modernity. On rice paper he aims for the perfecting of his hand, which he transfers on canvas. The floating brushstroke convinces with a clear balance over the paper, providing a protective mantle to the flowing forms which led the artist to the exhibition title SHELL.
