After Xin Haizhou’s Solo Exhibition at Today Art Museum in 2008, this brand new solo exhibition of Xin Haizhou will open at White Box Museum of Art on May 19th 2013. The exhibition is curated by critic Duan Jun, scheduled from May 19 to June 18 2013. The essential works of Xin Haizhou form last five years will be rerealed, as to present the phased thinking about art, life and the society.
The Real is a kind of psychoanalysis concept from the French psychologist Lacan. The real does not mean the real life or reality, but the crossroads of reality and illusion. For example, the real, just like the perspective vanishing point in painting, exists for real, although it is can’t be described. Recently, the field that Xin Haizhou is exploring just is the real, especially the actor’s life his presents. For the actors, the realities are their real life, and the performances are also their real life, so the performance is not all illusion. The overlapping area of the real life and the performances is the point that Xin Haizhou focuses on, and the main difficulty is that the real can’t be described by the words or forms directly, it can only indirectly maps to or projects on a certain form.
