A Blueprint for Ruins

Like the aftermath of an unseen apocalypse, A Blueprint for Ruins features artworks that describe vast city metropolises in decline; chilling visions of rampant overdevelopment and man-made destruction. This group exhibition captures the undercurrent of dispossession and decay within China’s urban metamorphosis – from Yuan Shun’s installation Soft Landing, 2018, describing a city that has disappeared into the sands of time, like a scene from a futuristic nightmare, to Zhou Jie’s urban diorama CBD, 2010, created out of porcelain and rice, describing a city seemingly frozen over in time.
