2014 - Wormhole ↔ Geo-attraction

This November, Lin & Lin Gallery teams up with the curator, Sun Dongdong, putting forth a curatorial project Wormhole↔Geo-attraction. Theexhibition features 16 the most promising young Chinese artists, who redefine contemporary art through the use of an entirely new language, influenced by the era of globalization.

A wormhole is a hypothetical feature of spacetime that is often regarded as the shortcut through spacetime. It is a mysterious traversable tunnel connecting past and future. The connection between two ends opens up tremendous possibilities and profoundly twists our imagination about space-time. Bringing forward geopolitical issues concerning historical memory and global system as the dimension of thinking, Sun Dongdong attempts to shed light on the artists’ individuality when confronting the globalized network era. According to Sun, an individual possesses global vision under the influence of globalization. Through the virtual networking system that overcomes the physical limitations, a boundless geographical experience is fully realized while a point-to-point distant contact is completed simultaneously. 

The interaction of various artistic mediums contributes to the development of contemporary art. The current exhibition comprises of installation, video and painting. The featured artists attract enormous global attention, including Chen Fei, Gao Ludi, Gong Jian, Guo Hongwei, Hao Liang, He Xiangyu, Ran Huang, Li Jingxiong, Li Ming, Liu Xinyi, Xie Fan, Xu Qu, Yan Xing, Yang Jian, and Zhao Zhao. These young artists combine different uses of medium, further create a completely new form of art, injecting new energy into Chinese aesthetics.
