Picture
The exhibition explores Winnie’s vision of the capitalist world, viewing desirable commodities from different angles and often with a focus on textile products, in order to resist what she describes as her “shopaholic behaviour and temptation”. Winnie, who graduated from UAL/Chelsea College of Arts with an MA in Fine Art, paints her obsessions into her artworks. 

The exhibition is curated by Julian McSweeney and Huanglu Shi for Artsalon+, and is being held in the atmospheric 1st floor room of The Oddfellows - Exeter, at 60 New North Road, EX4 4EP. 

The Private View will be held from 6.pm to 9.pm, on THURSDAY, 4TH MAY, 2017, and the exhibition will then be open from the 5th - 21st May, 2017 as part of Art Week Exeter.
​
Opening hours from 5th - 21st May, 2017: 

Wednesday to Saturday : 6pm- 12am
Special opening hours : 17th May (Wed) 1pm - 5pm

‘Paper Tiger Wooden Horse’

12/13/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture


Paper Tiger Wooden Horse is an exhibition of artworks by a group of internationally based and emerging artists belonging to the UAL (University of the Arts London) alumni based in China, Korea, Hong Kong, and the UK, that seeks to explore language and communication, the cultural exchange of ideas, and the miscommunications that sometimes occur during translation, and the ways in which new or unintended meanings can be generated by the viewer’s emotional response to text or images where the original meaning has become confused or distorted. The title of our show, “Paper Tiger Wooden Horse” refers to the old Chinese idiom “Zhilouhu”, of which “Paper Tiger” is a literal English translation, meaning something that appears threatening, but which cannot stand up to any serious challenge, while “Wooden Horse”, which is a reference to the ancient Greek “Trojan Horse” - a large wooden horse that was left as gift to the city of Troy with whom the Greeks had been fighting a long and epic war, but which secretly held a number of soldiers inside. When the horse was brought inside the city gates the soldiers waited until night and then emerged from the horse and attacked the city from within, which resulted in the defeat of Troy and the destruction of the city (hence the well-known phrase ‘Beware of Greeks bearing gifts”). 

Bringing these two idioms with their opposite meanings together echoes the titles of Chinese Kung Fu movies and refers to the notion of globalisation and fears of cultural invasion. Is this exchange of cultural ideas a Paper Tiger or a Wooden Horse?

Curated by our current artist in residence, Julian McSweeney, who holds a Master’s Degree in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts in London, and supported by BananaJam Space, set up and run by Chelsea College/UAL alumni Zhou Yuan, and Lab-Box, an arts platform with hubs in Shenzhen, Beijing and Toyota, Japan, also set up by Zhou Yuan and Wu Bo, and others, who both studied for their Master’s Degrees at Chelsea College with Julian, and are members of the China UAL Alumni Association, this exhibition of contemporary art is intended to promote the exchange of ideas and visual culture between China, the UK and other places around the world, through the extensive and growing UAL alumni network, which we hope to foster and develop through such cultural exchanges.

Paper Tiger Wooden Horse will show works by AeLee Ko (Korea) Paul Abbott (UK), Bijan Daneshmand (Iran), Bo Wu (China), Chel Andre Logan (UK), Chang Yang (China), Gerard Carson (UK), George Myles (UK), Henry Gardiner (UK), Huanglu Shi (China), Ivy TC Chan (Hong Kong), Jinjoo Kim (Korea), Jonathan Slaughter (UK), Pengbo Yuan (China), Paul Abbot (UK), Winnie Chan (Hong Kong) and Yorda (China).

Paper Tiger Wooden Horse is being held at the BananaJam Space in Shenzhen, opening with a private view on the 11th December, and will run until Christmas Day, 25th December, 2016.

"Consolidate"

A mini retrospective online exhibition showing my development from 2012. 
Thank you Owlstand and particularly Stephen Yang for inviting me to hold my solo exhibition on their online gallery. It's especially hard for me to hold one as my works are located in different countries, the limitation of space, cost of transportation and host of all other expenses. Online exhibition provided me another option for the exhibition "space" and rises a new movement when the world goes digital.

Co-Curated by Owlstand

Date: Starting from 30 Oct 2015

Part 1 of the interim exhibition from the MA Fine Art Course at Chelsea College of Arts

Private View: 5 - 8 pm, Thursday 30th April
Cookhouse and Triangle Space.
16 John Islip Street, London SW1P 4JU, United Kingdom


The exhibition CompoSITE is a project part of the Ma Fine Art program at Chelsea College of Art and demonstrates the progress the students make on the course.

The expanded translation of CompoSITE is to literally compose a space. The word refers to the assembling of an environment starting from completely different approaches. The contemporary art works in the exhibition are shown in two spaces that connect and simultaneously contrast with each other.
