Meta Gallery |Chen Tong’s Project for a Revolution The Moviegoer: Agent Seven-Son-Flower

This fictional revolution started by some global radical communication cell might have been designed by Chen Tong himself. Why not? He adopted most of his political incorrectness from Robbe-Grillet, and some more from The Green Book of Gaddafi. He can never forget how Pierce retrieved his stopwatch. He thinks about Edgar Allan Poe’s The Purloined Letter when he sees Vermeer’s paintings. The diaries he wrote in one of the islands of the Indian Ocean may or may not be connected to WeChat. The thing he is most interested in the best-selling book Small is Beautiful is the idea of Distributism. And when he talks about “tradition,” he is really talking about the rules that to this day still failed to fail…(Written by Chen Tong)

From Guangzhou to Shanghai, from the Libreria Borges to Hong Kong, the fictional ground for the revolution, the exhibition shows not only an imagination of a revolution on “world drawing paper”, but also includes an obscure channel toward the real world through his video and paintings. As a follow-up to Chen Tong’s project, the solo exhibition of “Code: Heptacodium Miconioides” will force us to re-evaluate his efforts in various artistic areas.
