Beijing

Solo show

Dutch artist Guido van der Werve is bringing his video work to Beijing's M Woods Museum. It is the artist's first solo show in Asia. The video work Number veertien, home took the artist six years to film. It is a story combining the narratives of Alexander the Great, the death of composer Frederic Chopin and the artist's personal narrative. Like most of Werve's works, it features soul-stirring music and poetic images. Since Werve's solo show at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 2012, he has gained worldwide reputation.
