Open House: Royal Pond
ChART Contemporary Collaborates with Du Yi for another Open House: Royal Pond, the Second in a Series of Curatorial Experiments Reflecting Our Mission of Bringing Together Art and People. Join us on June 21, 2009, from 3:00 – 7:00 p.m. and experience a new site-specific installation created by Du Yi and curated by ChART Contemporary.
The Open House embodies ChART Contemporary’s mission of bringing together art and people through curatorial initiatives that educate, stimulate and support the production of new works by emerging artists. Open House presents a project for one afternoon in a space that is for rent, sale, abandoned or slated for demolition. There is no equivalent of the American concept Open House in Chinese, but the term yangbanjian conveys a similar feeling where real estate is on display for public consumption.
Open House is designed to give people an opportunity to interact with contemporary art beyond the black and white walls in a gallery or museum. The concept, inspired by marketing tools used by local real estate developers to sell property based on showrooms that are designed to reflect the living standards desired in China today, evolved from the American marketing concept where doors are opened to the public for an afternoon and potential buyers, renters and lookers are invited to visit a property. While the concept has different characteristics in each country, Open House has a commonality where anything is possible and the world is yours for the taking.
Royal Pond is a visual narrative created from sound and graffiti-inspired painting techniques. The fable illustrates the story of the “common people” and takes class struggle as a point of departure to reflect the erosion of the middle class and plight of the working class in modern China. Combining personal narrative with his observations of how working class families and “common people” live, Du Yi draws us into an “underwater world” where reality is bleak for a mother and son who cannot escape their fate as they sink into the abyss.
In pre-Confucian China, the feudal system divided the population into 6 classes: 4 noble classes with the king at the top, followed by the dukes, then the great men and finally the scholars. Below the noble classes were commoners and slaves. Today commoners and slaves are synonymous with the working-class, and are being pushed and consumed by society. Royal Pond is a fairytale turned nightmare that contemplates social stratification and the lack of social mobility for the working class.
Du Yi (b. 1984) is an emerging artist based in Wuhan and a founding member of Chirp--one of the earliest artist collectives in China to combine public art with graffiti. Since 2008, this young artist has expanded his practice combining painting with sound and video installation. Open House: Royal Pond is his first solo exhibition.

ChART Contemporary Collaborates with WAZA for the Launch of Open House- the First in a Series of Curatorial Experiments Reflecting our Mission of Bringing Together Art & People. Join us on April 19 from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. and experience Open House: Post Space, a New Video Series Created by WAZA and Curated by ChART Contemporary.

Post Space is a series of six videos completed in 2009. WAZA was inspired to create this body of work after learning the film production studio in Wuhan was storing thousands of outtakes from 16 millimeter films edited in China during the 1950s and 1960s. These outtakes are from Soviet, Japanese and Chinese films. WAZA uses this abandoned footage, this abandoned creative output, to shed light on the dire situation facing China’s inland cities. Ironically these cities have also been left behind. There is a staggering gap between the economic and social development in a second tier city such as Wuhan and first tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. This artist collective meticulously sorted through the “garbage” for months to produce Post Space. The eerie soundtrack is WAZA’s digital creation and highlights the feeling of isolation. By transforming “garbage” into “treasure,” WAZA meditates on the harsh reality facing China’s inland cities and embraces the unwanted. As this work unfolds before your eyes, we hope your spirit is charged, and perhaps the cities and people being overlooked will be remembered.
WAZA is an emerging artist collective founded in 2002. Based in Wuhan, this collective is a platform for experimental new media art. From large-scale sculptural installations that incorporate photography, video, sound and new media technology to site-specific video and sound projects, this young effort is at the forefront of a new generation of local artists pushing the definition of art to a higher level.
