Xu Qu’s recent artistic practice uses direct action and directly perceptive forms to manifest the divergent truths that surround major world questions. It’s Not a Matter of Time brings with it a series of interconnected and contradictory situations, creating in the exhibition space a new temporality that lies beyond the museum in an attempt to bring the viewers out of their accustomed value system.
