NAVIGATING THE UNKNOWN IN BETWEEN
Solo exhibition in constant change
China - Switzerland 2017
An exhibition in constant change - Solo exhibition at the China Academy of Art Hangzhou 2017.
This solo exhibition with a room installation of Son-Icons opens up a constantly changing space of creation and thought. Son-Icons from Europe and new silk sculptures ‘bodies of sound’ which were created in China, generate ‘in between’ spaces. These ‘in between’ spaces will be brought to life with an intercultural symposium: solo performances, a collaboration and performance with the dancer Nunu Kong from Shanghai, Temporary SoniCalligraphy produced on a daily basis, the participation of students from the China Academy of Art, as well as the participation of the audience with Temporary Drawings and Calligraphy - drawings and writing with water on stone.
An artistic remix of the solo exhibition, the performances, the inter-cultural symposium at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, as well as formative film and audio sequences during Pro Helvetia's artist residency of several months in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Hong Kong.
