Arch Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Hu Longxiang's solo project at Project Space on November 2nd. Since August, ARCH PROJECT has presented the prelude to the young artist's Transcendental Folkloric Research—featuring the initial work Gill-Like Mechanisms I, a visual translation of spectral detection of Chinese herbs. Applying transcendental concepts to traditional folklore studies, it reinterprets folklore from a transcendental lens, shifting research from empirical cognition to transcendental practice.
The exhibition showcases five works depicting the use and production of Chinese medicinal materials. Designed with practical household functions, they are displayed as reconstructed life scenes in the gallery.
