YANG Yong: "The Cruel Diary of Youth: Blue, Very Blue"
m97 Gallery No. 97 Moganshan Road 2F 200060 Shanghai Chine
M97 Gallery is pleased to present “Standing at the Water’s Edge”, a Group Exhibition featuring the works of sixteen M97 artists.
Exhibiting more than 30 photographs by 16 artists, "Standing at the Water's Edge" immerses the viewer's perspective in a juxtaposed state between land and water. The boundaries and relationship between these two intrinsically linked yet fundamentally opposed elements of nature encourage our gaze and stimulate our imagination. The water's edge is at once boundary and transition, destination and a point of departure. The bedrock of land acts as foundation and the continuous flow of water depicts the flow of time. From the water’s edge we can seek perspective, enlightment, or to feel the vastness of the universe against the smallness of our being. With land, water and the human element dwarfed between two worlds, we are given a platform to dream, reflect, relax, and celebrate existence.
