Ma Qiusha’s solo exhibition “Road” will be opened at OCAT Xi’an on June 9th, 2018. This exhibition will last until August 26th, 2018.
The exhibition “Road” takes aretrospective look back over the recent decade of Ma Qiusha’s works, andincludes video installations, examples of her work with photography, and with installation forms. “Road” reveals best her skill in using a variety of familiar materials in a compellingly different form to articulate a very direct, yet personalized account of experiences she shares incommon with an entire generation.
The selection of nine pieces begins from Milk, 2008, but the exhibition begins with a piece from the series Fog, 2011-2012. Beginning from a personal memory or experience, each is conveyed through the use of subtle, at times unlikely, materials. A similar transformation of material is enacted on stockings from various eras, which are used in the series Wonderland, 2016. This exhibition also includes the seminal video works All My Sharpness Comes from Your Hardness, 2011; Rainbow, 2013, and Mars, 2016. The three single-channelworks underscore a shift in the angle of investigation that Ma Qiusha has employed over this span of time.
