Description
Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present Chinese artist Li Hongbo’s solo exhibition “I & Thou”. This exhibition serves as a continuation of his solo exhibition “Shadow of Knives” in 2015, from which one of his works Desire won Li the 2017 Sovereign Asian Art Prize.
Inspired by the “The Happiness of the Fish” written by Ancient Chinese philosopher and literati Zhuangzi, this exhibition draws from the quote, “You are not a fish, so how could you know its happiness?” as a thread for exploring the ways in which humanity uses extant knowledge structures to examine the spatial awareness of other life forms. The exhibition uses kitchen knives as a medium to construct sculptures and an installation space. Li Hongbo encourages viewers to reflect on the intimate links between humanity, other living beings and the outside world.
