Opening – Zhang Ding’s solo exhibition
Shanghart H-Space，Bldg 18, 50 Moganshan Road, Shanghai
May 21st-July 20th
Since his solo exhibition “Tools” in 2007, Zhang Ding changed his focus on urban, marginal and realist issues that constituted the main aspect of his early works, to develop an heterogeneous space using dramatic scenes, consisting of installations, videos, and other media works. His works composed of various elements and substances, sometime opposing or even destroying each other, skillfully turn a reality filled with contradictions into a unique misplaced “landscape”. Zhang Ding’s main artworks include “Tool” (installations and video, 2007), “Great Era” (video and photographs, 2007), “The Dream of Yabulai” (video installation, 2008), “Law” (installation, 2009), etc.
Zhang Ding, born in 1980 in Gansu province, lives and works today in Shanghai. 2003 to 2004 he studied in the New Media Art Department of the China Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou.
