Jiang Jie

Beyond Art Space, Beijing

The exhibition 'Pink Utopia' displays her installations and photographs. In recent years, the artist frequently uses silk, cotton and paper to demonstrate the sharp contrast between these material and modern space and buildings. In a sense, this practice reflects her attitudes towards art and the reality.


comunicato stampa

Fantasia - Journey of Discovering Happiness* is a non-profit art project initiated by Fantasia Holdings Group Co., Limited in 2006. One well-known artist is chosen by the project each year to accomplish an art program pertinent to the theme of happiness. The project is expected to become a contribution to the Chinese cultural prosperity.

On June 24th, 2009 the fourth *Fantasia - Journey of Discovering Happiness*project was launched in Beijing. The well-known artist Jiang Jie was the executive of the event, who would carry out her art plan *Thousands of Faces and Thousands of Perspectives* in the following one year. The plan includes a series of interviews of well-known painters, musicians, novelists, poets, film directors, philosophers and scholars, who talk about how their work is related to happiness.

Jiang Jie would like to present her findings and reflections during the discovery journey in the form of a solo show. The exhibition *Pink Utopia*thus will be held at Beyond Art Space in Beijing on June 8 th, 2010 and present her installations and photographs. The exhibition is her first solo show after 2006 and a unified representation of her four years of work.

Jiang Jie is a female artist who has unique perspective towards the environment and ecology. In her works, we can sense her views of space, building, tradition and reality. One of Jiang Jie¡¯s greatest strength is her capability of using a variety of materials in his works. In recent years, she frequently uses silk, cotton and paper to demonstrate the sharp contrast between these material and modern space and buildings. In a sense, this practice reflects her attitudes towards art and the reality.

The artist decorates the gallery with pink silk bags filled with black tiles. The roof ornamented with pink silk makes the place filled with Utopian romance. Under each tile, there is a story and a piece of memory. It reflects happiness, cheer, difficulty or sorrow. All of them are vividly recorded by the titles in the pink bags.
