She suspends us between fiction and corporeal reality, such that the painting can no longer easily become a tool of realizing or awakening desire. This also implies that the imagery of these paintings ultimately establishes a profound relationship of \u201cnot-requesting and not-desiring\u201d with us, thereby creating the possibility of vital exchange at our deepest levels of need.<\/p>\n<p>In this richly dialectical approach to painting, the artwork goes beyond the mere exposition of reality\u2019s nuances to form a dynamic reciprocity between its own visual language and the bodily experience of the viewer. These works of art express the due inclusivity of coexistence, which facilitates the potentially epiphanic emergence of the basic conditions of life on a primeval and elemental level.<\/p>\n<p>Duan Jianyu\u2019s work is diversely interesting. Like Balzac, she portrays a contemporary <em>Com\u00e9die humaine,<\/em> engaging with all forms of life within the mortal world, as well as the refugees who traverse the boundaries between the human and the inhuman. Here, the formal process of painting echoes the diversity of life within the universe, fumbling about in search of togetherness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Vitamin Creative Space<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Duan Jianyu<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>The Foam of Days<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">May 7 \u2013 June 26, 2022<br \/>\nSeptember 24- October 30, 2022<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> Venue<\/strong><br \/>\nMirrored Gardens, Space 1<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Address<\/strong><br \/>\nHualong Agriculture Grand View Garden, Panyu, Guangzhou<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Daily Opening Hours<\/strong><br \/>\nWednesday to Sunday, 11am to 5pm (closed on Monday and Tuesday)<br \/>\nHours may vary on holidays or in special circumstances.<br \/>\nPlease go to the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/mirroredgardens.art\/visit\/\">visit<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0page to make an appointment with us in advance before your planned visit to the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Website:<\/strong> mirroredgardens.art<br \/>\n<strong>WeChat:<\/strong> mirroredgardens<br \/>\n<strong>Tel:<\/strong> +86 20-31043759<br \/>\n<strong>Email:<\/strong> mail@mirroredgardens.art<br \/>\n<strong>Press:<\/strong> PR@vitamincreativespace.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; There is a correspondence within Duan Jianyu\u2019s recent work between settings, postures, allusions and transformations of paintings within paintings, the arrangement of objects within paintings, and the multiplicity suggested within spatial structures: between desire and its absence, between the potentiality of narrative and the language of poetry, between the performativity of imagery and the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8256"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8256"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8259,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8256\/revisions\/8259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
