ShanghART WB Central Space is pleased to present the exhibition “Conversation with the Stone”, which will open on July 13 and run through August 31. Featuring works by 14 artists—Boedi Widjaja, Chen Xiaoyi, Fu Site, Guoguo Erma, Li Yongzheng, Tang Jie, Tong Wenmin, Wang Xin, Wang Jianwei, Yoyo, Shi Zhiying, Su Chang, Qi Wenzhang, and Zhou Zixi—starts with "stone", the exhibition creates a conversation crosses boundaries between the past and the future, reality and the virtual, the self and the other, and human and object.
The exhibition borrows its title from the eponymous poem by Wisława Szymborska. Beginning with the verse, the featured works either use stone as a medium, a metaphorical image, or as a historical relic, which together unfold a dialogue that transcends time and space. The stone is not only a silent object but also an eternal witness, and yet, imbued with the artist’s subjective awareness, it seems to respond. In the works, the stone becomes an unconscious “self”, a “narrative object”, a subject capable of speech and outcry. It bears memories older than life itself, transformed through artistic practice into myriad forms, through which we glimpse nature, time, and the unknown.
