OPENING RECEPTION: Tang Contemporary Art invites you to the Opening Reception on Saturday, May 23, 2009, 4 pm onwards.


For their first major solo exposition in their own country, the two Beijing-based artists have rigorously concentrated on the architectural aspect of the gallery space and tools that it should encompass, to contain within it the multiple and symbolic relationships between the exhibition space and the work.
Working with precision in their method of display, Sun Yuan and Peng Yu lure the viewers towards the themes of inhabitability, absence and presence, and liberation where the static and the vigorous, the visible and the hidden are interconnected in a single network of visual cross-reference. Greatly delineated in this project is the duo’s daringly innovative testing and construction of circuitous protocols, engineering procedures, and a high degree of labor intensivity so as to orchestra a single elegant experiential work that simultaneously directs attention and deflects interpretation, smuggling in neglected core behaviours, calculations and narratives.
