ShanghART Gallery is pleased to announce ‘Landscape’ – a solo-exhibition by the artists collective Birdhead in F-Space, a space dedicated to young artists.
'Landscape' consists of 5 different platforms that are dedicated to the imagery of Shanghai: Here, the city is captured photographically in a both poetic and realistic form of aesthetic. The show consists of tableaus that each tells a different story about contemporary life in this fast changing urban environment. The artists themselves call this approach ‘memory creation’. The images of the city come to symbolize the characters that inhabit it.
The exhibition features video as well as original photographs.
Ji Weiyu (1980) and Song Tao (1979) were both born in Shanghai where the artists today also reside and work. The artists graduated from the Shanghai Arts and Carafts School (2000). Recent exhibitions include The World of Other’s, Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai (2008), China Power Station II, Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo, Norway (2007), Bird Head 2006-2007 Photography Show, BizArt Art Center, Shanghai, China (2007), and Individual Position II, ShanghART H-Space, Shanghai, China (2007).
