Artist: Jin Shan Venue: ddmwarehouse Organiser: ddmwarehouse Collaborator: Pékin Fine Arts Date: Apr. 11 - May. 17, 2009 Opening: 6pm, Apr. 11 (Sat.)
In Jin Shan’s solo exhibition, the artist fabricates his show around an abstract martyr - Stephen (the Protomartyr of Christianity). In the show, the abstract martyr is materialized into a herd of persecuted sheep, the latter being imagined as Stephen, the martyr of reality.
The exhibition is divided into five individual parts telling one story: sheep persecuted, sheep educated and sheep’s fight-back, integrating animation, performance and installation. The visitors are guided by the artist’s designed route into a testing field for the power-creating martyr, which humorously discusses the topics of how the public obtains power and the destiny of a martyr.
This is the inaugurating exhibition of ddm new site. Stephen the Speculator is sure to bring visitors a unique art experience.
