ShanghART is pleased to announce the dual solo exhibition of Xu Hongxiang & Zhai Liang: “The Gap Between Day and Night,” opening on May 15 at ShanghART SUHE. The exhibition will remain on view through June 27, 2026. Bringing together their works produced over the past two years, the exhibition foregrounds the two artists’ distinct observations of the everyday and the surrounding landscape, prompting renewed attention to the subtle and often overlooked incidents latent beneath lived experience.
A new night is imminent, yet the old dusk still lingers heavily, reluctant to depart. In After Dark, Haruki Murakami employs a third-person perspective to unfold two parallel narrative threads across seven hours spanning day and night, capturing the secrecy and solitude concealed within shifting light and shadow. Similarly, through their respective modes of observation and pictorial rhythm, Zhai Liang and Xu Hongxiang construct parallel narratives that resonate despite their divergent paths. Their perceptions of quotidian landscapes subtly emerge within space, murmuring in quiet dialogue. Their practices preserve a lingering warmth of passing moments, allowing those faint and submerged elements hidden beneath experience to reappear. Within the elusive yet inevitable fissure between “day” and “night,” these fragments become enclaves for perception itself.
