Zhang Yuan
Imaginary Legend
2008.10.18 - 2008.11.23

Opening Reception: October 18th, 2008, 4:00PM
Venue: Platform China Contemporary Art Institute Main Space B

Imaginary Legend presents a series of works which filled with chaotic features and rich imaginations, including paintings, installations and drafts. After his first solo exhibition - the concealed structure at Platform China in 2007, Zhang Yuan deepens his subtle art exploration and mind into a broader range. The concept of "solo group show" expresses the passivity and complication of the individual facing the world and the attitude toward reality. The artist constructs a world in parallel with the reality by the word "imaginary", which combines many possibilities. "…feels like hearing the self-throat growling…" The exhibition consists of several series, which seems have no connection at surface, such as Nameless Shipping Company - Sailing, Stranger, Imaginary Legend, Liang Jia Dian, Standing Tree at the South Gate, One Rice Grain Breaks the Roof and etc.
