Meng Zhou
 
Solo Exhibition: VACUUM

Duration: May 26, 2024 - August 15, 2024

Venue: 9F, BLDG 10, No.398 Tianmushan RD, Hangzhou

Organizer: R PLUS Gallery

 
From May 26th to August 15th, 2024, R PLUS Gallery in TianMuLi will hold the solo exhibition “Vacuun” by artist Meng Zhou. It is a fragment of a story about meteorites, meteors, and the infinite cycle of life that comprises them.
 
The artist is extremely fascinated by the universe and the state of life of living creatures, and in the process of creation, he constantly superimposes information on it, and when different fragments are created in different time periods to form new images, it is like a station in the cycle of the river of life - perhaps “Vacuun” in everyone's heart.We are looking forward to seeing the sound of time fragments colliding with each other.

Group Exhibition: Buzz Of The Universe

Duration: June 7, 2024 - September 7, 2024

Venue: G2101-1, No.1687, Changyang Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai

Organizer: Gravity Art Space

 
Buzzing rings the doorbell of all things; it echoes between the hazy and the clear. When we utter the word “buzzing”, our bodies glimpse a possibility—be it the bee and the mosquito, the fluttering and the crashing, the sun and the moon, pain and joy. This exhibition brings together fifteen artists who employ diverse media and forms of expression, including painting, photography, installation, sculpture, video, and interactive electronic devices, blurring the lines between the visible and the invisible. They strive to capture the contours of these two forms of existence, achieving a delicate balance: the tremors of their individual lives, while maintaining a resistance to the everyday.

Mengfan Bai
 
Group Exhibition: Departure Level

Duration: August 6, 2024 - October 8, 2024

Venue: No.9, B1F, Lane 9, Qufu Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai

Organizer: Third Street Gallery

 
The exhibition “Departure Level” will open on June 8, 2024 at 4pm. Nine artists will present works that either fit the theme or were commissioned based on the concept of the exhibition, including Mengfan Bai's Crescent Street 18:52 (2024), The Friendship is Endless (2024), and 25.0966N, 102.9286E I (2021). Mengfan Bai records the mirrored landscapes of man-made buildings in the midst of his arrivals and departures, and the haze blown by the wind at dusk coexists with the water and walls of the three places, constructing an order that is divorced from cultural categorization. After the phase, along with another round of completion of the construction of their own subjects, they return to the structure with new identities and states. It may be possible to abandon the pursuit of collective metaphors, and although each person is yet to be complete, it is also possible to embrace and understand the incomplete. The layer of departure can also be the layer of arrival.
