Seeing is Believing
A Chen Shaoxiong Solo Exhibition
Dates: 11 April – 17 May
Time: Tuesday – Sunday 11:00 – 18:00
Opening: 11 April, 16:00-18:00
Place: Boers-Li Gallery, Caochangdi No. A-8
Carrying on his recent critique of faith and the global financial infrastructure, the artist presents in these works the intangible and illegible as reminders of the malleability and insubstantiality of economic life.
Entering the gallery space, the viewer may find nothing at all. On a clear day—rare for Beijing this time of year—one may notice a series of letters along the gallery floor. Lettering installed in the elevated windows of the Western wall spells out the advertising slogans of a number of international banks: Citi Bank’s “Citi never sleeps,” positioned next to HSBC’s “The world’s local bank,” offers a certain type of accidental poetry. The afternoon sun casts the shadows of these and other slogans across the bare concrete floor.
