SUMMARY:ShanghART Beijing - Jiang Pengyi - Jiang Pengyi: Foresight
DESCRIPTION:Opening: 4 PM\, 28 May 2019\nDuration: 28 May – 6 July 2019 (11:00-18:00\, Monday Closed)\nLocation: ShanghART Beijing\, 261 Cao Chang Di\, Airport Side Rd.\, Chaoyang District\, Beijing\, China\nContact: infobj@shanghartgallery.com | + 86 10 6432 3202 \nShanghART Beijing is delighted to present ‘Foresight’\, a solo exhibition by Jiang Pengyi\, marking the artist’s inaugural show at the Beijing space and his fourth presentation with the gallery. It will also be the first display of Jiang’s recent works in Beijing since the 2009 “Curated by…” exhibition at UCCA. \nForesight is a new series of works that Jiang has produced through repeated experiments\, elaboration\, destruction and replacement since 2014. During the time the artist has persistently questioned and explored materials\, methods\, and expressions in photography\, with the significant concept “demeditation” driving his art. Trying to get rid of external limitations including cameras\, lenses and shooting techniques\, as well as subjective identity as an artist or photographer (producer)\, he retains only negatives\, objects\, time\, and extremely limited\, uncertain human intervention. That is also how the series such as Dark Addiction (2013)\, Intimacy (2014) and In Some Time (2015-2016) was created. \nIn traditional film photography\, uncontrollability has always been a noticeable and fascinating feature: the final image remains a mystery until the end of printing. In order to refine and magnify this quality\, the artist placed organic matter like fruits and vegetables on negatives\, waiting for their changes in complete darkness. As time went by\, the pictures were developed slowly\, quietly into colors and compositions that Jiang never expected before. Besides\, the painting style of photography has been another exploration done by the artist in recent years. In this body of works\, the process of “painting” is unpredictable – he sets up natural dialogues so as to find the entrance into a new world. \nJiang Pengyi’s work continues to address how to project life and emotions onto films\, improve the acceptability of materials\, conduct unconventional experiments\, and constantly suspect individual experience. From Dark Addiction that uses the technique of direct impression to reflect fireflies’ path of life and love\, to Intimacy showing the interaction between fluorescent paper and photographic negative\, and from Blooming (2018)\, in which light-sensitive films were processed in a violent way\, to the new series Foresight – an unsuccessful attempt to foresee\, all of them reveal the traces of time and push the boundaries of photography. Jiang is looking forward to the birth of a surprising image\, instead of simply capturing\, replicating or creating. However\, his practice is not all about subjectivity\, but a kind of grace that can’t be foreseen\, which the artist considers as humble and free. \nAbout the Artist\nJiang Pengyi was born in Yuanjiang\, Hunan Province in 1977 and graduated from the China Academy of Art.
