Ruminate on the negative and see the suffering compound, focus on a task or a moment and get more from it. Creases on a Map was an exercise in focusing attention on points on the map which would usually be overlooked; not tourist destinations or local hubs, but sites so normal that they could blur into countless others but for their alignment with the creases on a paper map.If the "folding" of maps is used as a metaphor, then the walking and positioning of artists also remold the meaning of folding on another level of space.
Young Artist Residency Project
29/06/2020
‘HouTian Project Young Artist Residency Project’ is an artist residency project initiated and developed by HouTian Project. With ‘local’ acting as a base, as well as a research target, residency participants are sought to realize projects that radiate surrounding areas. Through investigation, research and exchanges in the sociocultural environment, focus on specific characteristics of the area and understand the local cultural atmosphere. Simultaneously, artists will be sharing and exchanging with other professional researchers from other disciplines, thus breaking from the context of one’s own conventional artistic practice. The artists will engage in interdisciplinary thinking and artistic exploration, leading to the creation of outstanding and thoughtful work with greater possibilities for artistic breakthrough.

The exhibition：The middle zone
7/09/2019
Date:2019/09/14-30
Opening:2019/09/14 14:00
About the middle zone：
1.I am trying to get grip on the middle zone.
2.The middle zone is the safest zone, art is the most taboo safe zone, but the safest zone is also the most dangerous zone.
3.The middle zone is often the road most traveled, its a place that seems familiar, yet that familiarity can lead to its subtlety and details being overlooked, we need to learn to look harder, to notice more.
4.There is no unifying concept of the middle zone, but its the one with the most possibilities, the most active one.
5.The middle zone, not left not right, not in the front not behind, in the middle.
6.The middle zone is often the core of things, hiding huge energy and explosive force.
7.I’m in the middle zone right now.
8.The middle zone is the gray area between black and white, its a state or connection.
9.The middle section of this brush that I'm holding, is its most useless part, but as for the dart board behind me, the middle zone holds the highest score.
10.The middle zone is an ambiguous chaos, the middle zone is a bizarre swamp, the middle zone is a cutting point where a steel needle can be inserted into the bone marrow.
11.Perhaps every word has a different meaning for every person. For me, the middle is closer to a neutral, orunbiased state. I also wish I could always walk on the middle line. I also wish I can always walk on the middle line.
12.The middle zone is the place where ideas, people, actions and thoughts converge. Where it is no longer certainties that prevail but ambiguity puzzlement and inconclusiveness which hold sway.
13.A definition of the middle zone is a false proposition, but we can describe it in terms of phenomenon ,such as the middle zone wandering around the edges of multiple fields ,seeking a balance between concepts ,ambiguous and complex relationships, which can be a state of calm, daily, and full of possibility.

Kong Longzhen
Sever one's connection with the collective
02/12/2018
In the spring, it took me 100 days to walk 13,000 kilometers from xiamen island in the south to hulun lake on the grassland.
Later, I spent nearly half a year to put the mountains, seas, lakes, rivers, sunrise, dusk, moon night and starry sky I saw along the way into my paintings.
The picture is 22 meters long. Recorded from the coast to the mountains and then to the plains and then into the loess plateau and then the maowusu desert overhanging mountains to the vast grassland...
