何翔宇在空白空间的第五回同名个展将在2017年2月18日开幕，此次展览将展出艺术家近年全新的创作，以绘画、装置和视频等丰富的媒介，呈现了艺术家一系列殊途同源的探索——对于跨文化边界的非语言表达和身体感知这一对母题持续而不断深化的思考。

这一思考的核心分别以发散与内省的两种方向被呈现：一组时间跨度为一年的视频作品，纪录了三次彼此独立、却又隐秘相关的事件。在长期存在或临时性的空间内，空间的功能和尺度都被极度压缩；而藉由同样高度简化却行之有效的基础规则，即便几乎完全脱离语言和复杂的文化认同过程，仍然会迅速形成一系列微缩社会系统。从三个事件的表达手法中，能清晰地追溯到艺术家从“口腔计划”出发的创作原点。而作为同一原点的内向引申，是对于“黄色”这一具有多重象征性的色彩的持续探究，艺术家此次回归到视觉这一感官本身，用纯粹的视觉语言来反观图像的生成和视觉的机制。

We are delighted to announce the opening of He Xiangyu’s fifth solo exhibition at WHITE SPACE BEIJING on February 18th. This exhibition presents an entirely new series of works by the artist, including paintings, installations, videos, and other forms of media, showcasing a variety of explorations that share the same origin -- an everlasting and increasingly deepened deliberation on the motif of cross-cultural, nonverbal manifestations and bodily perception.

The core of this deliberation is presented from two angles: one is extroversive and the other is introspective. A series of videos created in the span of a year documents three independent yet intricately connected happenings. No matter a space is permanent or temporary, its function and dimension are extremely compressed; based on a series of highly compressed yet efficient fundamental rules, a microcosmic social system can be established rapidly, despite its complete divorce from language and complicated process of cultural recognition. From the means of expression in the three happenings, one could easily trace the artist’s origin of creativity from the “Palate Project”. Internally derived from the same origin is an ongoing investigation of “yellow”, a color with multi-layered symbolic meanings. The artist therefore returns to visual perception, using pure visual language to discuss the generation of images and visual mechanisms.

HE Xiangyu (b.1986, Liaoning Province, China) currently working and living in Beijing and Berlin. Recent exhibitions include: Tales of Our Time Film Program (Screening of the film “The Swim”), Guggenheim Museum New York, New York, USA (2017); Save the Date, SCAI The Bathhouse & Kaikai Kiki Gallery, Tokyo, Japan (2016); Hedge House Wijlre: Family Tree, Contemporary Chinese art from the Sigg collection, Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht, Netherlands (2016); Juxtapoz x Superflat, Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, Canada (2016); Chinese Whispers, Paul Klee Zentrum, Kunstmuseum Bern, Bern, Switzerland (2016).
