Sun Xun has been selected for the group exhibition, ‘Bat Cave: Treasures of the Day and Creatures of the Night’ at Asia Society Hong Kong Center. In collaboration with Institute of Chinese Studies of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and curated by Dr. Xu Xiaodong, the show brings together over 70 traditional Chinese objects to examine the bat motif. In deconstructing the auspicious symbol in Chinese culture, participating artists reveal its omnipresent yet seldom scrutinized thematic variations and narratives. On display is Sun Xun’s animation film “Beyond-ism” (2010) and latest project “The “Dao” of a Bat” (2015), a wall mural with digital art.
