Description
‘THE’ survey exhibition, which is the most impressive, the most diverse, the most uncontrollable exhibition with the most active artists participating, will open on 1st December, 2018 (Sat) at Cattle Depot Artist Village.
Curated by C&G Artpartment, in the name of the celebration for its 11th anniversary, ‘THE’ survey exhibition is also drawing our attention to the development of local art spaces. Some of the questions include: What are the roles and responsibilities of an art space in society? How can it position itself? How can it help nurture the young practitioners? C&G believe that an art space must have its strong vision. It should be a spot for experimental art practices, different exhibition models and discourse development. It should be one of the important ladders to the sublime. C&G Artpartment has confidently practiced as such in the past 11 years.
The selection of artists is based on a serious revision over all the exhibitions curated or organized by C&G Artpartment since its establishment. C&G reviewed all their curatorial works and select the most ‘special’ artwork from each of the previous projects. Thereafter, they invite totally 40 artists who had been the most ‘special’ at one point.
According to a Chinese idiom, there is no championship in the arts, while there is no first-runner up in martial arts. We do believe that artists are always humble. It certainly is a challenge to ask them to name themselves the number one or the most of such and such. ‘THE’ survey exhibition will provide an opportunity for different artists to show different outlooks of the most self-centered, the most self-contained, the most narcissistic or the most …everything…
