Group Exhibition Surplus Space, Wuhan
On November 15, 2015, Surplus Space opened with its inaugural exhibition "Unlawfully Constructed" at the Wuchang 403 International Art Center. By September 2025, it will have spanned a full decade. A ten-year tenure, in today's art ecosystem, already verges on a "miracle."Over this decade, we have organized 30 exhibitions - including the first solo shows for several young artists - alongside 16 academic forums and lectures. Our exhibition space has relocated three times, yet we have never strayed from the positioning and self-awareness inherent to being ”Surplus." Coinciding with its 10th anniversary, Surplus Space will move to the Wuhan Design Heart on Zhongshan Avenue in Jiang'an District, embracing a new beginning in a new venue.This 10th-anniversary special exhibition, titled "Surplus Value," responds both to the labor time - identified by Marx as latent yet obscured within commodities - and to what Agamben describes as potentiality suspended outside institutionalized time, remaining unused. Surplus Space seeks to safeguard a zone of "surplus time" for experimentation and rupture amid an increasingly capitalized art mechanism, consistently providing fertile ground for under-recognized practices and fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue.
