Kiang Malingue is pleased to share Miao Ying, Nabuqi and Yu Ji’s participation in Centre Pompidou in group show “目 China, A new generation of artists”. Nabuqi’s The doubtful site (engulfing and radiating shapes) (2018) and Yu Ji’s Column No.3 – 2 (2023) are included in the Centre Pompidou collection.

This collective exhibition shines a spotlight on the upcoming contemporary Chinese art scene with works by 21 artists, drawing a subjective portrait for the first time in France. The opening of China to the world, environmental upheavals and the transformation of lifestyles in Chinese society are all topics that have been addressed in the contemporary creative output by this young generation of artists, born in the late 1970s through to the early 1990s, as China experienced a great economic boom.

Under the theme of the character 目 (mù), meaning “eye”, with reference both to vision and the eye’s capacity to organise reality, the rich selection of works picked out by the Sino-French curators covers a broad spectrum of practices — video, painting, sculpture, installations, photography and new media — with emphasis on creations in recent years.
