The first sculpture group exhibition “Somatic Attunement” at Studio Gallery's new space will open on Sep.12th, 2021. In this exhibition, we have invited 11 female artists/artist group: Yi Zhang, Lin Cai, Liu Xi, Liu Fujie, Lili Qian, Haha Wang, Spider on Web, Yuyu Wang, Edie Xu, Zhihui Zhang, and Zhou Zhou.
These 11 artists/artist groups are all good at selecting different materials and using different spaces to express the perceptual level. In this exhibition, these 11 artists/artist group also angle their art practice differently to show a slice of sculptural practice driven by material experiment and process. They also discuss whether the use of different sculpture materials can break the traditional meaning of sculpture, give a new sense to the objects and resonate with the audience with the same feelings.
