Beijing Commune is pleased to present the artist Wang Luyan's new exhibition “Corresponding Non-correspondence”. This is Wang Luyan's first solo show at the gallery, and it will continue until August 21, 2018.

Wang Luyan considers that all things exist in relationships, and relationships all present their correspondences. Every judgment or choice made by people is made when it forms a corresponding relationship with things. However, for those uncontroverted and indisputable correspondences, there is no need for people to judge or make decisions about them.Questioning is the basis of thought rather than belief. Wang Luyan attempts to question the conventionalized corresponding phenomena which no longer lead people to think in a skeptical way. For example, is there a substance of “back”hidden behind the representation of “face”? Could the distance that people tend to shorten be an indispensable demand when they communicate with each other? Is the opposite direction corresponding to the target the destination that the walkers are going to?

This exhibition will showcase dozens of the artist’s latest works in the series of "Corresponding Non-correspondence".Those works all face the paradox in various correspondences from different perspectives. Through the use of everyday materials, such as newspapers, latex, cardboard, acrylic paints, plastic boxes，wooden boxes and others, the artist presents his creative process from generating concept to generating works, from the practice in his studio to the presentation in this exhibition.The artist keeps his mind fresh during the creative process by means of self-questioning and self-denial.The artist believes that the original project will be changed for various unexpected reasons. He regards the procedural drafts as “formal works”, constantly raises questions during his creation and logically speculates and demonstrates them in a visual way. This reflects Wang Luyan’s exploration of using draft as art language.
