This exhibition, including artists Yang Yongliang, Chen Yufan, Chen Yujun, Jiang Pengyi, Li Qing, Ni Youyu, and Zhao Xuebing, aims to capture and slow down our senses. The starting point is the observation of time and its inner force. Duration, energies and transformational processes are generated to bring together artistic strategies as a reduction of speed in connecting with perception, orientation and on narrative that arises, as a process of deceleration sets in.
