ZHANG Ruyi is participating “Walking On The Fade Out Lines” curated by Larys Frogier, Director and Hsieh Fong-Rong, Senior Curator at Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai. As a typical case of “trans-regional particularity,” her body of work is granted with the very poetic license to achieve a desired effect of the literal meaning of the exhibition title and the literary significace of the curatorial concept. She proceeds with the “decoration” this time by incorporating the idea of displacement. It is an attempt to construct a dialogue between individuals and spatial matters like surrounding environments. The articles scattered on the fourth floor resemble “ornaments”. They come from everyday life yet divorced from all its aspects. The “cabinet” presented on the fifth floor is an overall “reconstruction,” where a narrow space is applied to connect the interior and the exterior of the building, emphasizing their separation and interdependence. The artist employs objects to question objects and spaces to question spaces, thus resisting the order. The exhibition will last until 27 May 2018.
