The Little Dwarf

The group exhibition, ‘Curve of Buoyancy’, comprising collections of female collectors, is inspired by the lightness of Wendell Dayton’s work ‘For Calder’ (1975). The imagination of curves runs through the exhibition, such as the rib vault of Gothic architecture and the functional straps in athleisure fashion, illustrating various possibilities in forms. Annie Kevans, Andy Warhol in Drag 4, Photo credit the artist The Chinese translation of the exhibition title is “浮翠流丹”, which means the vibrant and flowing colours. Guan Xiao’s ‘Hidden Track’ (2015) has a score compilation that resembles the Shamanic ritual music, with clips of gymnastics, museum statues in arc shot and images of forests juxtaposed; rhythm, muscle tension and natural forces form an energy chain. In the end, a close-up of the feng shui ball turning red and the sketch of the forest echo the colour flow described by the exhibition’s Chinese title. The colours, red and green, also corresponded to the ‘root chakra’ and ‘heart chakra’ among the seven chakras of the human body, representing the energies of ‘survival’ and ‘love’ respectively, which are the crucial elements to face the current adversity.
