IMA Alum Mingyue Chen’s solo exhibition "The Land of Nothingness 无何有之乡," will be on view from August 18 to 27, 2023 in :iidrr Gallery. This exhibition is a deeply introspective exploration of Mingyue’s spiritual homeland, personal experiences, and the profound impact of Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi's teachings on her artistic practice. This exhibition will unfold in a series of interactive installations, reflecting Mingyue's diverse artistic approaches such as video, textiles, paintings, performances, sculpture, and digital art.
"The Land of Nothingness" is a tangible manifestation of Mingyue’s personal explorations for inner peace and spiritual liberation. It dives deep into her feelings of disconnection from her cultural roots and the constant sense of being a foreigner, a sentiment that resonates with many in today's globally connected society. With a thoughtful blend of digital technology, sustainable art, and storytelling, Mingyue leads visitors on an immersive journey of self-discovery, seeking solace in the midst of the chaotic urban jungles she has come to call home.
