IN VOID

The banner whose emblem you did fathom If just in me you'd raised your holy name Imageless like an Amen.

The exhibition "Flag without Picture" brings together the works of 10 Chinese and foreign artists, presenting their thinking and practice of current popular culture, individual identity, space environment and spiritual material in the form of installations, videos, paintings, and sculptures.

​

Looking back at the predicaments and encounters of our time, facing the ensuing challenges and confrontations, the first topic of returning to individual survival will eventually be the private conversation about eternity and passing that we have constructed after the night falls, or further A more poetic way is connected to the emotions and spirits of things, trying to make the disappearance and eternity interact and establish a connection in a multi-dimensional reality context. Those dialogue methods that are gradually silenced by “form” and “framework” seem to imply the complex self-organization results that are constantly stimulated in public spaces. When we focus on the center of the stage of the era shaped by collective consciousness, there is quietly a kind of silent echo about life that is close to white, reminding our own relationship with the world, and echoing in the alternating darkness and light. The stage boundary of the era. The black ground in the exhibition hall is no longer the vast darkness and emptiness at this time, but a space filled with infinite imagination and life.

​

Facing a familiar and unfamiliar distant place, perhaps everyone will have an unreachable expectation and channel in their hearts, trying to overcome the barriers of time and space, and full of eager and rushing longing for new students. We stare at our relationship with nature and the world, and we are always in the displacement of time and space where we are. "We hold up the flag of no picture, and look for our holy name in our age, and the flag and sail are utterly defiant. It’s like endless prayers."
