Faurschou Foundation presents the group exhibition Entropy<\/em> in Venice during the 58th Venice Biennale 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grasping\u00a0the dynamics of today\u2019s Chinese art scene, Entropy <\/em>explores the works of seven internationally recognized Chinese\u00a0contemporary artists: He An, Liu Wei, Yang Fudong, Zhao\u00a0Zhao, Sun Xun, Yu Ji, and Chen Tianzhuo. The exhibition was met with wide\u00a0critical\u00a0acclaim when it was first\u00a0presented at Faurschou Foundation\u00a0in\u00a0Beijing\u00a0last year. Now, an\u00a0altered\u00a0version of\u00a0the exhibition is traveling to Venice\u00a0for the Biennale.<\/p>\n

Divided into seven sections, each dedicated to the work of one of the seven artists, the exhibition offers an\u00a0insight into the\u00a0complexity of the ever-evolving\u00a0art scene in China today. While the artists share the experience of being born and raised\u00a0in a\u00a0rapidly\u00a0changing China, marked by\u00a0economic growth and cultural exchange, the exhibition allows each of their distinct voices to be heard. Like the\u00a0scientific\u00a0term \u201centropy,\u201d which is a measurement of\u00a0the number of possible states in a given system, the exhibition marks one voice of China,\u00a0formed\u00a0by\u00a0many, and can be interpreted and experienced\u00a0in\u00a0various\u00a0ways.<\/p>\n

The seven artists presented at Faurschou Foundation were raised in China during different stages of economic reform. He An, Liu Wei, and Yang Fudong, all from the 70s generation, seek to translate the complexity of their rapidly changing environment into installations, paintings, sculptures, and video pieces. Their works originate from conflicting emotions, caused by clashes between urbanism and nature, as well as deeply-rooted traditions and a new modern reality \u2013 all of which the artists experienced first-hand during their youth.<\/p>\n

From the early 80\u2019s generation, Faurschou Foundation presents artworks by Zhao Zhao and Sun Xun. Their installations contain references to politics, history, and mythology, with Zhao Zhao\u2019s works using subtle means of expression, whereas Sun Xun takes a more overt approach.<\/p>\n

Yu Ji and Chen Tianzhuo, both born in 1985, are the youngest artists in the group exhibition. Raised in a China that had acquired much greater wealth and stability than in previous generations, these artists integrate elements related to religious and everyday rituals through site-specific installations and performances.<\/p>\n

Since opening its space in Beijing in 2007, Faurschou Foundation\u2019s continuous involvement in the Chinese art scene has lasted over a decade. Now, Faurschou Foundation is pleased to bring an exhibition from Beijing to Venice for the first time.<\/p>\n

During their participation in Entropy<\/em> in Venice, both Yu Ji and Liu Wei will also participate in the 58th<\/sup> Venice Biennale \u2018May You Live In Interesting Times’<\/em>, curated by Ralph Rugoff.<\/p>\n
