Ji Dachun, Go Through the Motions

Ji Dachun’s work is often discussed in terms of an East-West dialectic in its appropriation of traditional Chinese painting forms and its ambivalent, postmodern attitude towards the construction of meaning. “Ji Dachun: Without a Home” seeks to engage an artist whose works’ manifold strangeness defies such simplistic classification, instead focusing on the evolution of the artist’s practice and artistic language over the past two decades.
