Hong Hao, born in Beijing in 1965,
will be showing an eclectic spectrum of works in an upcoming
exhibition at the Pace Gallery in Beijing from March 16th through to april 27th, 2013. This is a comprehensively retrospective of the artist's works
from various periods of his career, as well as new works.
The exhibition will be show his 2013
series Deja vu, and pieces from one of Hong Hao's best known
photographic series, "My Things", started in 2002. The
pictures are composed of thousands of scanned images depicting
objects from his own life. Hong tells us his life story through daily
life found objects, including maps, books, tickets, receipts,
banknotes, food, and containers.
These commonplace things are arranged
and assembled by Hao using only a computer, and represent over 20
years of accumulation on the part of the artist while others could
have just been part of that day's lunch.
These micro universes encompass the
various flotsam and jetsam - important or trivial - that fill up a
life. Hong Hao’s art is not strictly auto-biographic, is a
discovery of contemporary China and a chance to pick out what we
would find in our own homes.
