From December 23, 2022 to April 9, 2023, UCCA presents “ZHANG Ruyi: Speaking Softly.” As ZHANG Ruyi’s (b. 1985, Shanghai) largest institutional solo exhibition to date, the show features more than 20 new works commissioned by the museum. These pieces offer a systematic overview of how the artist has adopted cacti, concrete, grids, and other elements as symbols through which to explore the relationships between people and society, people and architecture, and the natural and industrial worlds. “Speaking Softly” also offers the first focused presentation of ZHANG’s use of glass, plastic films, and other standardized, transparent materials, reflecting on the myriad connotations of transparency. “ZHANG Ruyi: Speaking Softly” is curated by UCCA Curator Neil ZHANG.
