The theme of Li Qing’s latest exhibition explores issues raised by clothing: the manufacturing of clothes, weaving as creativity and resistance, the social symbolism and civilizing effects of clothing. The artist’s ruminations on the subject drift across selected historical artworks, period photographic images and current realities of China’s export-based economy.
Selected Group Exhibitions
The formation of this theme “Reactivation” is closely connected with the relocation of the Shanghai Biennale and the establishment of the Shanghai Power Station of Art, naturally corresponding to the renovation and reopening of the original Nanshi Power Plant and then the Pavilion of Future of the World Expo 2010 Shanghai. It takes full advantage of the urban memories and the resources of world expo, grasps the life lines of the cradle of modern Chinese industry, undertakes the mission of contemporary resource reform, and representatively manifests the significance of the Shanghai Biennale and the Power Station of Art as source of thoughts and power generator of creativity.

China has a profound and self-contained traditional culture. It is profound because this culture system has been available and developed for thousands of years and has given birth to the wisdom of many of our predecessors; it is self-contained due to geographical characteristics and the psychological impact of national culture.
