Rekindle – Experiential Fusion
December 2, 2023 - February 4, 2024
Eternal Spiral allows audiences to closely approach the workshop of this dream weaver whose sources span from anime and comics to Dutch Renaissance painting and silk scroll paintings. This exhibition of more than 200 works by James Jean is the first major museum exhibition in China by the acclaimed artist.
Today we experience tumult, uncertainty, and above all precarious situations in the world around us. This exhibition has been organized in response to the contemporary moment through which we are living. Titled Rekindle, this exhibition aims to link and empower various mediums through re-energizing art, fashion, life, entertainment, and creative elements, releasing a heated energy of sorts that aligns with modern aesthetic tastes. To rekindle is to revive something on the brink of oblivion. It is often a precarious process–fraught with the possibility of annihilation. Rekindle aims to "ignite" art into everyday life by engaging with the unifying, precarious position the world currently finds itself in. Indeed, Rekindle brings together a diverse array of contemporary art objects and connecting themes - whether whimsical, serious, or allegorical – charting various contemporary, urban, provisional art practices.
