CHAO WAYS OF SEEING 2019

The title of the exhibition "The Way of Seeing" is quoted from the book "The Way of Seeing" written by British art critic John Berg in the 1970s, a far-reaching art document that constantly reminds people that "the relationship between what we see and what we know is never fixed". This exhibition extends the presentation from multiple perspectives beyond the text of the works to construct a deep visual context, in order to question the universal concepts and meanings of art such as monumentality, creativity, uniqueness, and so on, so as to explore what is the "Way of Seeing" in contemporary art.

When the works of 17 contemporary artists break the boundaries of time and space and stand arm-in-arm in the same space, like a top symphony orchestra, they emanate great energy, constantly inspiring us to think, learn and understand contemporary art from different perspectives, as well as the way it is presented.
