BANK is pleased to participate in this year's ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair at Booth D02 in the DOME with Wenjue and Zhang Yibei's two-person exhibition.
This time, Wenjue presents a series of new paintings, with "Wunderkammer" as the theme, which is from a story whose origin has not been found. It is about a wooden house in the forest. Travelers will pass by and temporarily live here. Tramps, hunters, pilgrim monks, expelled politicians, a down-and-out nobleman who accidentally committed murder and escaped in fear of crime...all kinds of people gathered here one after another. People are here ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️.This room seems to be infinitely expandable. She uses invisible tentacles to lay out ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ paths to attract people into this space.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yibei will present her sentimental installation. Titled I Gnawed the Stainless Steel Wrench with My Missing Teeth, the work connects poison bait stations, spring bamboo shoots, lotus roots, quilts, bicycle tires, copper pots, kettles, heating finned radiators, and underground water supply pipes. These hidden or exposed materials that constitute urban life will be regrouped in the exhibition hall to show my struggle with "hunger." In addition, new works of Zhang Yibei's Sophia series will also be featured in the booth.
