ShanghART is pleased to present the group exhibition “Low-Density Drift” at ShanghART SUHE from January 16 to February 28, 2026. The exhibition brings together seven highly experimental and avant-garde artists from the Chinese-speaking world—Joyce Ho, Yiyao Tang , Wang Qingyuan, Yin Yunya, Zhang Wenxin, Zheng Xue, and Zhong Yunshu—who explore the subtle distance between reality and dreams through diverse media, presenting artistic expressions of contemporary perception, emotional cycles, and psychological experience.
"Low-Density Drift" does not refer to complete disorientation or a loss of consciousness, but rather aims to capture a unique suspension and displacement characteristic of contemporary mental states. The exhibition attempts to construct a traversable "landscape of consciousness," encompassing both the alienation and reconstruction of daily experience, as well as a delicate exploration of deep memories and the collective unconscious. The practices of seven artists, like seven different grammars of perception, weave together a complex network of low-resolution images through video, installation, and painting. This invites viewers to temporarily escape the purposeful logic of reality and embark on a sensory journey that allows for wandering, immersion, and multiple interpretations. This exhibition not only reveals the individual explorations of different artists but also aims to provide a contemplative buffer, allowing viewers to temporarily escape the torrent of information and efficiency and rediscover the slow, ambiguous, yet rich primal texture of perception itself.
