MEDIUM - Vague Group
Out of common interest in the experimental, Vague Group and Shanghai’s angle gallery have joined forces to present the platform’s first exhibition - MEDIUM. A tomato, two jewelry boxes, a few self-entangled tables and chairs, some surfaces of life and other surfaces underneath...... In the exhibition, object makers and image creators echo each other with their hands and eyes, presenting rich materiality under the multiple perspectives of creation and use. The exhibition MEDIUM tries to connect different medias and languages in a kind of medial contiguity, stimulating diverse experiences and feelings.
MEDIUM can be seen as a fragment of the substantial world, allowing the lives of objects in all their forms to extend beyond their nature, to reach beyond their corporeality. Here, in the words of the contemporary Italian philosopher Emanuele Coccia, any opposition between nature and culture, life and history, is dissolved and exiled to an additional space of intermediaries beyond the subject and the object. This is a world of diversity, of vitality. A MEDIUM world.
