First Solo Exhibition of Jiabao Li in China
Dec 23, 2023 – Mar 1, 2024, Shunde, Guangdong, China
Lead Graphic Design by Zhiyao Zhang
This marks Li Jiabao's inaugural solo exhibition in China, presenting a comprehensive display of twelve works that reflect her passionate fascination with and conscious critique of technology/science as an artist, designer, and tech researcher. Simultaneously, the exhibition is conceived as a live laboratory for her and her team (collaborating with various scientists, engineers, and AI specialists on many projects): exploring symbiosis between different species and conducting creative tests and narratives concerning the perception/cognition of reality. Upon entering the exhibition hall, we encounter mice, bats, octopuses, squids, the artist herself, and—stem cells. Functioning as a laboratory, it aims to dismantle inter-species divisions, proposing a model for a multi-species future, revealing the subtle but consequential changes in our present environment and the latent alterations in our ecology that have gone unnoticed. More importantly, by uniting scientific research, technological application, and artistic creation, Jiabao's endeavor seeks to confront humanity's inertia and offer alternative solutions akin to proto-cellular states.
