The Avant-Garde is Not Afraid of a Long March

About

ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present a group exhibition The Avant-Garde is Not Afraid of a Long March, featuring works from Birdhead, Chen Xiaoyun, Li Shan, Ouyang Chun, XU ZHEN®, Shi Yong, Sun Xun, Yang Fudong, Yang Zhenzhong, Zeng Fanzhi, Zhang Enli, and Zhou Tiehai, bringing together twelve artists of different generations. While the seemingly disparate mixture of works by pioneer and younger generation artists defies linearity, their individual breakthroughs and progressions chart the evolution of Chinese contemporary art through the years. Taking its name from the title of Zhou Tiehai's piece, the exhibition is a remark on the unwavering spirit of breaking norms and traditions in artmaking, while also highlighting perseverance as an integral part of the process.
