Beginning April 25 to July 8, the Power Station of Art will host Storage Memory, China’s first major solo exhibition from acclaimed French artist Christian Boltanski.
Born in 1944 and widely considered a key figure to the post-WWII art scene in Europe, Boltanski has been exerting profound impacts on the development of contemporary art from Europe to Asia, and was a contributing artist to the French pavilion during the Venice Biennale in 2011. According to the artist, while individual memories might prove to be fragile, they are still filled with truthful yet unique values, making it the reason why he often chooses daily items as the main creative elements in constructing an archive of humanity.
