Qiu and Ren Hang were born 13 years and over 2,500 kilometers apart and their styles and subject matter could not be more dissimilar.
Qiu's poetic black and white images are often grainy or blurred: like scenes glimpsed through a pane of rain-spattered glass, they evoke memories of rural southern Chinese landscapes and a rapidly disappearing way of life.
Ren Hang's clean lines, vivid colors and playful eroticism reflect the new urban China: his young subjects strike poses in sterile apartments, couple on nondescript sofas, crouch on cold porcelain toilets or tiled bathroom floors.
Like the inner ear, whose differentiated parts are necessary for hearing and equilibrium, the work of Qiu and Ren Hang allows us to hear more clearly the voices of this generation and to maintain our sense of balance in an age of imbalance.
Time: Until March 9, 10 am-7 pm.
Address: UCCA, 798 Art Zone, 4 Jiuxianqiao Road, Chaoyang district
