FAMILY STUFF Photography by Qingjun Huang. COLLEGE OF LAKE COUNTY,USA. February 21 - March 21 Chinese photographer, Qingjun Huang has been documenting his “Family Stuff” series for 20 years. To create these images he gathers a family’s belongings from their home and arranges the items and family members, photographing them outdoors with the home as the background. Originally working in China during a time of rapid economic development and globalization, Qingjun Huang used this method of staged photographs to record environmental changes, urban expansion, and shifts in people’s lifestyles. The concept of these works encompasses themes of love, work, identity, gender and the passage of time. Through a single photograph, Qingjun Huang is able to depict their external reality and their inner world.

Liberté de l’art Le groupe Xing Xing, Pékin, 1979 centre George Pompidou Du 3 décembre 2024 au 10 mars 2025 Cette présentation met à l’honneur quatre figures majeures du Groupe Xing Xing (ou « Groupe des Étoiles ») formé à Pékin en 1979 : Wang Keping, Huang Rui, Li Shuang et Ma Desheng. Un ensemble d’œuvres marquantes, accompagné d’archives et de documents, qui témoigne du laboratoire artistique majeur que fut ce collectif dans l'histoire de l'art de la Chine. Rompant avec les systèmes de représentation et de diffusion de l’art officiels, ces artistes recherchaient une liberté d’expression formelle et technique allant de pair avec une affirmation existentielle de l’individu, aspiraient à la créativité dans le lien social et à la spontanéité de l’être ensemble.

Biennale Images Vevey 2024 – (dis)connected Resident Aliens Place Scanavin En plein air Aux États-Unis, on désigne par « resident alien » une personne résidant sur le territoire national qui n’a pas la citoyenneté américaine. Le projet éponyme de Guanyu Xu met en scène les domiciles d’individu·e·s en attente de régulariser leur situation. Ayant émigré à Chicago, l’artiste chinois s’inspire de son expérience pour élaborer cette série depuis 2020 entre la Chine et les États-Unis. Rencontrant des personnes ayant différents statuts de visa, Xu accède à leur domicile. Il photographie leurs intérieurs et objets personnels, puis imprime ses clichés ainsi que leurs propres archives photographiques. Il retourne sur les lieux et accroche tous ces tirages, avant de photographier son installation éphémère. Œuvre engagée, Resident Aliens met en lumière la complexité de la condition migratoire et la résilience de ceux·elles qui partagent leur vie entre deux pays.Une scénographie originale de Images Vevey et de l’artiste

ArtAsiaPacific Pixy Liao: Through a Lens of Obsession By OLIVER CLASPER Portrait of PIXY LIAO. Photo by Oliver Clasper. For Diane Arbus, it was secretive and perverse. Walker Evans argued that to do it well one has to stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. For the writer Susan Sontag, it was an aggressive tool of power, a predatory act of appropriation. Photography is, by its very nature, an obsessive medium. Even its vernacular echoes something clandestine, almost shameful, akin to espionage: one shoots, frames, captures, exposes; to photograph is to work with triggers, mirrors, hoods, wires, curtains, shutters, darkrooms, and chemical baths. It is an endless list, a relentless index of image-capturing apparatus that also happens to form the machinery that lies at the very heart of our surveillance technology—first as celluloid film; later, as digital video. Art-making is about obsession, too: with a story, an idea, a memory, a place, an object. For Pixy Liao, it is an obsession at once ethereal (love) and tangible (a person), a fixation marked by the slow passage of time, manifested and mechanically reproduced through the cold black box of the camera; more specifically still, as a collection of staged, performative tableaux of her career-defining series Experimental Relationship (2007– ).

www.westlicht.com Mainmenu: de Content: INSIDE VIEWS 19.06.–11.08.2024 A repressive autocracy, a global player, an economic superpower with a thirst for expansion – the European perception of China is characterised by a series of recurring attributes. Mistrust and curiosity are just as prevalent as criticism and fascination for the People’s Republic of China. But how do Chinese artists see themselves? What images do they find to depict the realities of life in their country? And what do their personal views tell us about society as a whole? The INSIDE VIEWS exhibition brings together works by eleven artists from China, created from the start of the milennium onward, against a backdrop of rapid economic growth and radical social change. All of the images shown in the INSIDE VIEWS exhibition focus on the individual and their relationship to the surrounding society – whether it be private relationships or dependencies on societal structures. The initial point and motif is often the body. It functions as a foundation for experimentation, as a medium, sign and material. The spectrum of works ranges from Zhang Huan’s (*1965) body stagings following his performances, to Chen Ronghui (*1989) and his series Freezing Land on the consequences of structural change, to Luo Yang (*1984), whose photographs of young women portray a self-confident generation that is nevertheless struggling to find its identity and place.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY Exhibit, symposium consider art ‘Between Performance and Documentation’ By | Kate Blackwood , A&S Communications 11/9/2023 A performance art movement emerged in 1990s China, centered in the Beijing neighborhood known as the East Village. In reaction to massive changes in the urban landscape and to everyday living, artists put on one-time performances – but they also filmed and photographed each other, creating a new layer of art, says art historian Nancy P. Lin. “Performance is an ephemeral artform that’s dependent on and mediated through photography and video. These forms triangulate across each other and depend on each other,” said Lin, Klarman Fellow in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S), who will be an assistant professor of history of art and visual studies starting in Sept. 2023.

A Window Suddenly Opens: Contemporary Photography in China Nov 04, 2022–Jan 07, 2024 A Window Suddenly Opens: Contemporary Photography in China is the Hirshhorn’s first survey of photography by leading multigenerational Chinese artists made over the past three decades. The exhibition showcases 186 artworks made between 1993 and 2022, of which 141 are a landmark promised gift to the Hirshhorn from pioneering collector of Chinese art Larry Warsh. The exhibition’s title is drawn from a 1997 publication, a near manifesto, by Rong Rong and Liu Zheng that celebrated the possibilities in shifting the practice of photography away from realism toward a conceptual art practice.
