Wang Yahui: VOYAGER Public Program ── Route 1 | Approaches of Seeing

"The world is truly mysterious." — Wang Yahui

► Event Information

► Event Introduction

This opening event takes the development of Wang Yahui’s speculative approach to image-making as its wandering path. The guide will lead the audience to review Wang's journey from painting to image creation. Exploring the exhibition together, participants will experience how Wang—through her perception and awareness of daily life and nature—dedicated herself to investigating the interwoven order between objects, time, and space via clean, light, and fluid image techniques. By engaging in a dialogue between the aesthetic horizons of painting and image, she opened up her unique artistic path.

The "Art Promenade" is a creative extension of traditional expert exhibition guided tours. It invites experts and scholars from the art world and cross-disciplinary fields to respond to the exhibition with their expertise and creativity, sharing non-traditional forms of exhibition appreciation and responses with the audience where possible.
