The exhibition presented 54 works of art by 25 domestic and foreign artists, showing their exploration of contemporary art practices through various media such as installations, paintings, images, fiber art, and interactive forms. The artworks gather reflections and expressions from artists with diverse contexts and backgrounds, encompassing their thoughts on social changes, information, consumerism, rapid economic development, and everyday life issues. This not only bestows more possibilities upon materials and disciplines but also offers the audience multi-dimensional perspectives and ways of thinking to explore oneself, establish connections, and understand the world.
