Zhang Yibei @X Museum, Beijing, China

Group Exhibition "X Museum Triennial 2023: Home Is Where the Haunt Is"
BANK is pleased to announce that artist Zhang Yibei's new works from the Sophia series is featured in the X Museum Triennial 2023: Home Is Where the Haunt Is. The inspiration for the series comes from the imperceptible and dark moments in interpersonal interactions. The artist transforms Sophia into deep-sea creatures, in the midst of uncontrollable currents, they may appear stiff, or resistantn, or sensitive and light. With their sorrows lingering, the only thing they can do is to perceive the current, the other and the self.
The exhibition responds to the complex social and historical construct of ‘home’ and its etymological implication, ‘haunt’. As a universal social institution and an essential constituent of society, ‘home’ denotes a dwelling place and bears the sentiment of the permanence of history. Broadening home as a hotbed for psychological states, the exhibition explores the evolving of human selves in a global context of cultural heterogeneity and that which invades or disturbs it.
