LIU GUANGYUN | THE WEIGHT OF LIGHT curated by Carola Uehlken

With "The Weight of Light", the Chinese artist Liu Guangyun, who lives in Mainz and Shanghai, presents a new solo exhibition in Berlin. In his multimedia artistic practice, origin and identity play an overriding role. Thus, his life and his travels in transit between Mainz and Shanghai become the centre and fulcrum for his decades of experience in a globalised art system. His conceptual works are guided by the dualisms he encounters along the way. For example, how is the weight of a document balanced with the lightness of everyday objects? How does the weight of an individual feed into the weight of a society, a region, a landscape, a bar, a political system?
