The group exhibition Another Tongue of Mine presents a series of paintings and video works by Li Ran, Liu Xiaodong, Laure Prouvost, Wael Shawky, and Shen Xin, exploring how the symbols and systems of language fundamentally shape our perception of the world, creating endless transformations in speaking, translating, listening, contemplation or even silence.
The exhibition derives its title from a prose of the same title by Chinese writer Wang Meng, where he recounts his experience of learning Uyghur in Xinjiang during the 1960s. Wang regards language as a medium that bridges narratives and understanding between oneself and others. Through narration, learning, and listening, the image of the other is constructed, outlining the boundaries or touching upon the possibility of coexistence. Language is not a neutral, objective vessel; once filtered through it, consciousness and beliefs shadow every linguistic act and narrative. The similarities and differences in language flow and intersect between individuals, groups, and cultures, forming new constructs of discourse and power. In this presentation, the artists navigate between practices of painting and video, seeking medium specificity while crafting an intertextual system that achieves poetic resonance across forms and texts.
Li Ran presents Life fo the Pilgrim (2017), a video that weaves together archival photos, including images of Xinjiang Construction Corps’ production practices in May Day pasture and news photography. Through a semi-fictional narrative, Li explores his perspective on history, which he describes as complex and shattered, from both third-person and first-person viewpoints. Alongside are four paintings created between 2023 and 2024, an extension of the artist’s 2023 solo exhibition Waiting for the Advent at Lisson London. These paintings, with symbolic motifs and satirical undertones, explore the themes prevalent in Li's work. Evoking the style of satirical cartoons, You People Are So Political (2023) prompts viewers to contemplate the omnipresence of politics; while Repeated Forward (2023) draws its title from Søren Kierkegaard's Repetition, where two figures breaking out from confinement are astonished by what they are confronted with – a form of modernism that somehow has been pre-determined.

The Forbidden City Light and Shadow Journey ｜ traversing the glory of the millennium✨🌟 The Forbidden City Museum, the ancient royal palace in China, has now become one of the most important cultural heritages in China. Here, every step can feel the weight of history and the ripples of culture. 📸 Entering the Forbidden City, it seems to have entered a time-space tunnel with staggered light and shadow. The red walls and golden tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, each revealing the dignity and majesty of the Royal Family. When night fell and the lights were on, the Forbidden City seemed to have changed into a gorgeous dress, showing a different style. 🌟 The stone lions on both sides of the noon gate are more powerful under the light. The Han white jade railing in front of the Taihe Temple is carved with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns, and the golden light is flashing under the light, as if telling an ancient story. 🌟 Ganqing Palace and Suining Palace are the residences of the emperor and queen, and the most life-rich places in the Forbidden City. The lights are sprinkled inside the palace through the windows, creating a warm and mysterious atmosphere. 🌟 The Royal Garden of the Forbidden City is also a not-to-miss attraction. Here, ancient trees are towering, strange stones are scattered, and pavilions are scattered. The imperial garden at night is softly lit, quiet and elegant, as if it is a paradise. 🌟 In addition to the palace building, the collection of the Forbidden City is also a highlight. Each cultural relics carries a wealth of historical information and cultural connotation. Under the light, these cultural relics seem to be given life, telling ancient stories to people.
