EXHIBITION | ZHENG CHONGBIN AT "PERSONAL STRUCTURES - CROSSING BORDERS," EUROPEAN CULTURAL CENTRE

Zheng Chongbin will participate in the upcoming group show “Personal Structures - Crossing Borders,” to be held at the European Cultural Centre during the 56th Venice Biennale. Initiated by Dutch artist Rene Rietmeyer in 2002, the project brings international artists into dialog around the essentially human themes in its title—encapsulated in Martin Heidegger’s concept of Being-in-the-World—against both the commercialization of art and the nihilism of radical subjectivism and relativism. The latest installment of “Personal Structures” will take place between April 8th and November 15th, 2015 in the European Cultural Centre, Palazzo Bembo and Palazzo Mora, which will serve as the Biennale’s European Pavilion, and feature such artists as Lawrence Weiner, Joseph Kosuth, Anthony Gormley, Heinz Mack, and Otto Piene. Co-sponsored by Ink Studio and curated by Maya Kóvskaya, Zheng Chongbin’s submission will be an intricately constructed and choreographed environmental video installation entitled Chimeric Landscape, which continues his longstanding investigations of phenomenology and nonobjective art beyond the painting medium, and presents a new dimension of his creative practice.

Exhibition dates: May 9th – November 22nd, 2015
