Exhibition “The Park” in A Thousand Plateaus Art Space at The Temple House presents paintings, photographs and video installation by artists Chen Xiaoyi, Li Yin, Liu Chuanhong, Shen Yangchao, Xiao Jiang and Zhu Bing. By means of profound self-insight and unique angle of view, as well as self–questioning and reflection of cultural issues, these artists show the physical and psychological status of society, speaking to the evolution of urban space and the influence of society development to the natural space and imaginations.

As part of People’s Park Project and its segmented presentation, “The Park” is other than a closed exhibition with a definite theme. The motif is not to present directly accomplished results as an entirety to public. Exhibition in itself is a process of integration and interaction: it gathers several cases from different artists, which interact in the same space and produce new possibilities. The interaction comes not only from mutual relation between artworks, but also from the reaction of spectators and the relationship with the real environment around. All these elements on specific site form an accumulation process required by People’s Park Project. In other words, the entire exhibition, including the characteristics of the site, the different scenes happened, the urban environment surrounded, the participants…are all parts of People’s Park Project.

Artworks created are based on real personal experience and original artistic reflection. Exhibition at present seeks therefore authentic experience on specific circumstance. In this case, contemporary art has already gotten across the period of pursuing blindly after the trend and no longer at the service of mere theoretic appeals. It is based on the interaction between authentic social scenes and personal experiences, concerns spiritual aesthetics beyond simple appreciation of the beauty. This is not only the original goal of People’s Park Project, as well as the state that should be presented for each sub-project on site.
