One Country, Two Systems, fifty Years Unchanged!: Huang Rui

Thursday 12th July, 2012, 6:30pm - 8:30pm
at 10 Chancery Lane Gallery Central
 
Huang Rui's work One Country Two System, Fifty Years Unchanged! comprises an installation of commonly found Hong Kong items that have all been relabeled with the slogan used during the handover to China to provoke the question of what can remain the same for 50 years.
 
Huang Rui is one of China’s most highly regarded artists, one of the founding members of the Stars Group of 1979 and a seminal figure of the Dashanzi Factory 798 Art District. Since co-organizing China’s first public art exhibition in Beijing in 1979, Huang Rui has sought to express art’s function as a reflection of society and its strength in addressing contemporary concerns.
