Preface

“Far and Few 【Between】” explores identity from the perspective of Chinese expats now living in the UK. Considering 

geographical, cultural and political boundaries, this exhibition examines the physical and psychological relationships between individuals, races, history and environments. The concept also implies a circular act of gaze occurring between artists, artworks and their audiences, where visualization, interpretation, and ambiguities are nourished. This exhibition examines the activity of observing; the projection of the self and consciousness; ones understanding of the outside world; and the seemingly definitive conclusions drawn from such acts of observing, projecting and understanding.

《隔岸》是一个先有艺术家再来生成主题的展览，以目前生活和工作在伦敦的7位艺术家的视角，探索个体身份和界线之间的关系，艺术家，作品和阅读之间的关系。这里的界限即是政治的阈限也是地理的域线；即是种族，个人的界限也是心理和精神的域限。展览的目的不是声明态度而是倾向于提出一个或是多个疑问，对于历史，种族，个人存在与徙居之所的关系。旅英亚裔几代艺术家作为一个群体同时出现在展览空间，让时代的差异模糊了，换言之这种难得的打乱和融合让艺术作品作为“结果”和“窗口”贯穿起半个世纪的精神映像。
