On December 15th 2024, ZHI ART MUSEUM will debut this year's winter exhibition with two distinct exhibitions - Han Mengyun's solo exhibition "What Migrate Shall Remain" and the thematic group exhibition "Enrooting, the Heterogeneous Phenomenon".
It is no coincidence that there are two exhibitions in one museum.
The two wonderful exhibitions with different styles are both deeply related to the academic foundation of oriental aesthetics, local cultural and philosophical traditions, and geographical and natural attributes that ZHI ART MUSEUM has deeply cultivated, and they interact and dialogue with each other.
The group exhibition "Enrooting, the Heterogeneous Phenomenon" was hidden in the B1 exhibition hall of ZHI ART MUSEUM, originating in a cave space closer to the soil. Four artists presented a bizarre and strange scene with a secret and magnificent naturalism. The curator was like a gardener returning from afar, carrying seeds collected after traveling around, and cultivating a new garden on familiar land.
The two exhibitions seem to have very different styles, but they both point to a clear signal: a new methodology for contemporary art creation under a new generation of pan-Asian vision under the global cultural integration and collision, and a unique appearance of a new round of artistic vitality.
After the enjoyable knowledge exploration, cultural leap and spiritual nomadism presented in the two exhibitions, what finally opens up is the self-awareness and reflection of each individual. In my opinion, this is the origin and end of art.
Everyone has a garden of their own
I am the only gardener in this garden
Remember to come back often
Roots are here
