This outstanding exhibition entitled KUò XUáN- a collaboration of Wu Shanzhuan and Inga Svala Thorsdottir-belongs to part of Long March Space’s ongoing search for artistic breakthrough in order to enrich our creative experience. They expound their creative concept as, “It dies just before it begins, and lives just after it ends. We have incorporated our perfect brackets within an infinite spiral, and use the brackets to repeatedly cut into the spiral’s coil in order to configure their self rotation and recovery.”
Statements from curator Gao Shiming:
All that is solid melts into air. 【 Communist Manifesto】
The way upward and the way downward are the same. 【Herakleitos】
Before the beginning and after the end…… 【T. S. Eloit】
