LU Lei | Echo

2015.09.12 - 2015.10.11

Solo Exhibition, ShanghART Beijing, Beijing

This exhibition will present three big installations. One of the installations was created in 2005 but unfinished. While restarting and managing to complete the work, the exact existing form and texture of ‘echo’ then have been described and illustrated through outlining the surrounding atmosphere and unveiling the roles that the artworks have been playing.

Each work is individual and independent, but complements one another as well, which helps to create various scenarios with a sense of quietness, descriptiveness, accuracy but uncertainty. This is also how people think of echo: it might be just in front of us, might be in a distance, might be from the past, might be from the future.
