Ongoing Exhibition : Sui Jianguo Solo Exhibition MOCA@ 27A Lowen RoadLinda Gallery is proud to present an Installation
which will be featured in MOCA, Museum of
Contemporary Art, entitled Restraint Power.
Born in 1956 in Singtao in the province of Shan
Dong, China, Sui Jianguo generally confines his
works to hard, weighty materials such as steel and
rock. His works can be said to reflect his personal
experiences and his internal conflicts and feelings
of imprisonment.
This exhibition is titled Restraint Power consists of
a darkened room with a hulking steel structure, 2.5
m high, 2.5 m wide and 15 m long sealed box. From
within the structure escapes the crashing sound of
steel-on-steel collisions that send reverberations
through the floor.
Looking through one of the two viewing ports in
the structure, the viewer catches fleeting glimpses
of the huge steel ball rolling about within.
However, given the obscured view and erratic
movement of the ball, it is almost impossible to
predict the next collision.

Featuring an Exclusive collection of Zhu Weis Sculpture in Linda Gallery
China-China No.2, 120 x 56 x 39.5cm ; 121 x 59 x 45 cm ,2008
Although not formally trained as a sculptor, Zhu
Wei has been inspired by difficulties of expressionin his two-dimensional art to create witty and
stylish three-dimensional paintings. A line
attributed to him is as follows, If China can have
silent poetry, then it should be possible to have
three-dimensional painting.
On the right is the most iconic works is his large
monumental bronze figures leaning forward to thepoint where they are about to trip over. Their bulky
physicality expresses things that could not be easily
conveyed on paper. First created in 1999, coinciding
with time of the fiftieth anniversary of the Peoples
Republic of China, the pair of enormous figures doe
in politically-corrected Mao jackets stands at
attention with shoulders back, arms at their sides,heads raised. The solidity bespeaks unflinching
confidence; the uplifted heads suggest respect for
higher authority, while the absence of eyes suggest
blind, unthinking obedience.

Featuring an Exclusive collection of Zhong Biaos Painting in Linda Gallery
Zhong Biao I I Still Believe Timeless I 180 x 130 cm I Oil on canvas
Zhong Biao was born in 1968, Chong Qing, China. He is one
of the most famous contemporary artists in China. As a
sensitive artist, Zhong Biaohas captured the pulse of China's
social reforms through the visual symbols Chinese people
are familiar with. He takes the visual experiences of an era
as the image source of his works, including sculpture and
china representing China's past glories, the labor models of
the Cultural Revolution. What attracts artists is the different
meanings of these images, because in the language of
ordinary Chinese people, what used to be synonymous with
corrupt capitalist society or colonization is now the symbol
of modernity. With the development of movies, TV, printing,and digital technology, it seems that the way modern man
receives information has already undergone the transition
from text to images. In these new circumstances, images
from different eras are frequently taken out of their original
context and used repeatedly. And in this process they are
continuously endowed with new cultural
meanings. Zhong Biao's work is similar to the "knowledge
archeology" described by Facult Michael. In "visualarcheology" similar to "knowledge archeology," he cuts a
section from the visual symbols people are familiar with,
then takes out those fragmented symbols from the cultural
deposits of different times, and last arranges and combines
them in a unique way. What he wants is not to show the
meaning of symbols themselves, but to reveal the changing
meanings of the images through setting up peculiar scenes.

Featuring an Exclusive collection of Zhong Biaos Painting in Linda Gallery
Zhong Biao I Days in the Clouds I 280 x 200cm I Oil on canvas
Zhong Biao's unique work style means that his cultural
attitude is entirely different from that of previous artists.
Be it political pop or gaudy art, what they were eager to
put across was their own attitudes, criticizing eitherideology or commercial culture. Zhong Biao seems to keep
a distance from this sort of criticism. In his works we find
the calmness unique to intellectuals. What he considers is
not how to criticize, but the source of evidence for our
criticism and how it's meaning undergoes changes.
Behind Zhong Biao's approach to China's pop culture and
mass culture, we find a new cultural attitude. He is unlike
other artists who deal with pop culture, who either mixtheir works with real pop culture under the pretext of
concept, or use old handcraft methods to criticize the mass
production of pop culture. It is possible that art based on
handcraft and individual production is not a match for real
mass culture and its media. The relationship between art
that criticizes mass culture in the name of art and mass
culture itself is much like that between a small flyswatter
and an enormous fly. In Zhong Biao's works, we can see
that through the creation of illusions and the
incompleteness of images he gives up not only the
antagonistic relations between art and mass culture but
also the attempt to control mass culture. Through
'visualization' Zhong Biao has staked out his own claim
within the domain of mass culture.
