( Museum in Museum Project )
‘Museum in Museum’ is an exhibition project where the artist stays at the ARARIO MUSEUM located in Seoul or Jeju Island to create new pieces of art. As part of the ‘Museum in Museum’ project, Li Qing created a house showing the artist’s daily life in the exhibition halls of the ARARIO MUSEUM in SPACE. The rooms are Salon, Study Room, Studio, Bedroom, Dining Room, Karaoke Room and Shower Boot. The design is based upon needs of specific groups including artists and viewers, who need to work, rest, socialize, self-present, entertain etc.
Hive Center for Contemporary Art
The title Cathedral comes from the short story of the same name by American writer Raymond Carver. The exhibition includes painting series, painting installations, videos and works in other mediums created by the artist since 2012, with the themes continuing Li Qing’s recent exploration and exposure of the complex relationships between the secular world, faith, sentiments and cultural identity, melding formal creation and intervention in reality to touch on a wide range of critical concepts including secular mythology, capitalist embellishment and all manner of realistic daydreams, and using satire, imitation and metaphor to express the universal anxiety found within the historical field of vision.
Selected Group Exhibitions
Power Station of Art
Based on these lines of thought, this exhibition proposes the concept of "Appropriation Art in China" for the first time. Through analyzing creative phenomena related to appropriation in Chinese contemporary art practice, I have expanded and altered the Western concept of appropriation art, integrating appropriation - linmo, a Chinese artistic tradition that has existed since ancient times, and Shanzhai, this phenomenon that is so prominent in the present age, with the intention of elaborating a concept of "Appropriation Art in China" that links the past with the present.
