Beijing museum opens 'supermarket' of images
To the left of the installation, a gilded shopping trolley, created by Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury, shimmers while it rotates on a pedestal, beckoning the audiences to take it to shop for something at the exhibit.
"Welcome to Red Brick Art Museum's 'Supermarket of Images'," said Yan Shijie, the museum's director at the exhibit's opening. "Nowadays everyone is immersed in tons of images pretty much on a daily basis," said Yan, who sees the exhibit as a chance for Chinese audiences to reconsider their relationship with images.
Co-curated by Szendy, Emmanuel Alloa, and Marta Ponsa, the show teams up 39 artists/art groups, including Yves Klein, Robert Bresson, William Kentridge and Kevin Abosch, an NFT (non-fungible token) artist who has recently shot to fame.
