Curator: Cui Cancan

September 12 to October 27, 2021

The 1st and 2nd space of Tang Contemporary Art Beijing

 

Language never exists in isolation. The uninterrupted experimentation and sustained momentum across these various series are outgrowths of the themes Li Qing has been following since 2005: information and image in the technological age, the social mechanisms and power dynamics of seeing, the relationship between people, architecture and the city amidst globalization, the patterns and disciplining of aesthetics in the consumer age. Between the lofty towers and the swaying tent, the literary implications between the “lighthouse and the cradle” begin to fade and become the antithesis of Utopia.
