X-Blind Spot, Yang Shaobin at the Long March Space

I like to create ‘problematic art’ which questions my personal attitude towards life.....For me, it is meaningful when art poses alternate perspectives to problems experienced in life.

Yang Shaobin






This is a fantastic exhibition and closes on the 18th of October. If you have not seen it yet, it is well worth a visit. The Long March Space, 4 Jiuxianqiao Lu, Chaoyang District, Beijing.

THE REVOLUTION CONTINUES: NEW CHINESE ART @ Saatchi



ELPIDA HADZI-VASILEVA: We Are Shadows



Over the past decade Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva has developed a reputation for producing ambitious and complex works in sculpture and installation. Central to her practice has been a desire to respond to the particularities of a given location, be it in terms of industry, community or (natural) environment. Hadzi-Vasileva’s compulsion for responding to location has enabled her to produce a staggeringly varied body of work incorporating sculpture, video installations, photography and architectural interventions that require a significant level of industry and resourcefulness.

more drawings from day four



The next exercise was to reflect on what had been learnt from the weeks activities and demonstrate this through a drawing. Students were reminded of the key points covered in all the sessions and asked to choose their own subject. The subject should allow them to develop a drawing that explores their interests in the ideas, images and mark-making that came out through the project. The resulting drawings make clear the distance travelled this week. The vast majority of students automatically tackled some very abstract works that were both focussed and clearly intentional.
