Wang Bing: Experience and Poverty Curator: Yang Beichen Opening: 18th November, 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm Exhibition: 18th November to 31st December 2017 Magician Space is very pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in China with acclaimed filmmaker Wang Bing. Widely recognised as one of the foremost figures in China working as a documentary maker, film director and visual artist, Wang Bing has produced a body of work that continually examines the complex reality and history of China. He explores human nature as it exists on the fringes of society, continually seeking different methods of image-making in order to construct a solemn and direct experience of events that bridges the past to the present. Wang Bing has received various awards by major international film festivals and honoured with retrospectives in museums and biennials, including participation in Documenta 14 in Athens, Greece and Kassel, Germany. In 2017, he was the recipient of the 2017 EYE Art & Film Prize, and his work Mrs Fang won the Golden Leopard Award at the 70th Locarno Festival, Switzerland. The exhibition will feature predominately a selection of work completed in recent years curated by film researcher and art critic Dr Yang Beichen.
