7 Works - Ex Post
CAAW - China Art Archives and Warehouse, Beijing
In this view the works of the 4 artists presented in this show give representation of 4 different paths of the pictorial form: the common platform on which they work is the fraudolent relation which merries art and reality, whereby its visual exhistence is awakened and reviewed in a personal order.
Curated by Ai Weiwei
Acknowledged that form moulds and sculptures the sense of things as we percieve them within the frame of reality and out of contingency, we can consider the product of art as the contract between a constructed world (commonly accessible through optical intuition, tactile and dinamic perceptions) and the range of significance (which is the multiple sense attached by art itself to the phenomenical value of things).
According to this the interpretation of a work of art turns into the high duty of penetrating the ultimate emanation of its essence, which is to use E. Panofky words “the unwiiling and uncoscious autorevelation of a basic attitude towards the world“.

The viewer's underatanding of the 7 works by Ding Yi, Wang Xingwei, Yan Lei and Meng Huang, can be accomplished only as an ex post happening, that is to say after their individual language has been portraid as a conceptual coding of life and its practice of strains and solutions.
Ding Yi's segments, Yan Lei's colours, Meng Huang's glimpses and Wang Xingwei's witty assemblages enframe the border struggle which confronts the arbitrariness of the mind and the objectiveness of the eye, proving the manifestation of art to be the “spiritual place“ where man and world meet.
