Chen Langmu: The Waste Land
2014.3.29-2014.4.20
Chen Langmu
With photography and historic pictures, Chen Langmu collects imageries of historic statuses at particular moments and evolutionary processes over certain historic periods. Such historic evidence provides him with some possibilities to construct fields where the artist and the past become mutually open. For the artist grew up in the declining industrial base of North East China, his collection of evidence represents a search for the collective root for himself. This search will help Chen Langmu locate more precisely his own individuality (within such historic context) before organizing and conveying it in the pictorial composition through such personalized treatment as painting, thereby creating his unique visual fruits or in fact forming a method of narrating, participating and occupying. This is in effect his active construction of the present as historic discourse and creation of his own individuality by using history as an entry point.
