HOW Art Museum is honored to announce the upcoming exhibition ”Joseph Beuys in China,“ which will open on November 11 in the first-floor gallery. The exhibition traces the 12-year connection between HOW Art Museum and Joseph Beuys, continuing and renewing a trans-temporal dialogue with the artist.

Joseph Beuys: Alive For Evermore
Du Xiyun

After Dadaism dissolved the boundaries between art and life, ”non-art“ and ”anti-art“ greatly expanded the possibilities of what art could be. Yet the spiritual void left by Dadaism’s nihilism was only meaningfully filled with the arrival of Joseph Beuys (1921–1986). His radical statements — ”The silence of Marcel Duchamp is overrated,“ ”Everyone is an artist,“ and ”Social Sculpture“, which embodied his personal transcendental experiences, expressed both a profound faith in art and a warm hope for humanity.

Beuys clearly perceived the consequences of modernity‘s ”disenchantment“, as he believed that the elevation of rationality and technology had deprived humanity of its spirituality. In order to reveal the syndrome of the human condition, he would rather explain pictures to a dead hare, and to live day and night with a coyote. His radicalism in art resonated spiritually with the role of an ancient shaman, merging his identities of ”a social activist“ and ”a cultural healer.“ Through love and redemption, he resisted the dark deconstruction of irrationality…

HOW Art Museum is pleased to announce that the solo exhibition Being of artist Guo Jian, will be on view from March 1, 2025. Let’s get into this exhibition through the curator Zheng Guo‘s preface.

What do we really talk about when we talk about existence? French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre famously said ”Existence precedes essence“ - meaning our existence here come before any definition of our essence. Guo Jian’s exhibition Being explores this idea through everyday objects that are transformed by his unique way of creating folded paintings. These creased artworks become metaphors for life‘s unique experiences - those personal ”folds“ in our lives that can’t be smoothed out form a visual language that dances between the abstract ideas and the mimesis of the world.

For Guo Jian, ”existence“ isn‘t just about static things, but dynamic process that involving time, memories and emotions that reshape what we see. The objects in his paintings feel familiar, but each fold tells its own story. Being creates a visual playground for philosophical reflections. These folded and reshaped items aren’t just reconstructed objects, they convey Guo‘s gazes and quests for the essence of being. When you walk into this world made of folded artworks, you’re not just seeing multiple shapes. You‘re stepping into a conversation about what things really are versus how they appear to be.

The seemingly simple lines in Guo’s folds are actually carefully arranged following strict geometric logic. By playing with the space between the abstract and the figurative elements in his paintings, he changes what we see. The unique shapes created through folding build a …
