"The land in the tropics is always in a subordinate position. Western colonialism has brought it something that is both poison and medicine, which has interchangeably transformed the appearance of the tropics."
——Chen Dandizi
With the greeting of this chilly winter in Beijing, Hua International is pleased to present Tropical Room, Chen Dandizi’s first solo exhibition in Beijing, who is an artist based in Southern China. Continually created on the central themes of self-knowledge, nature and observation of imaginary landscape, Chen Dandizi uses video, installation and literature to explore constantly the perception and experience of natural environment, human emotion and artificial world.
This exhibition will systematically present Chen Dandizi’s recent artistic thinking and practice. Under the propositions of "tropical" and "empire”, the artist discerns the subtle emotional feelings from silence based on daily life.

Tong Kunniao, "Just Stay in the Cold"
10.09-12.12
Potsdamer Str. 81b
Just Stay in The Cold will be the Beijing-based artist’s first exhibition in two chapters with the gallery, as well as his first show in Berlin.
In China, Tong Kunniao (*1990) is one of the most sought-after artists of a generation whose works clearly stand out from those of previously known Chinese artists. Tong Kunniao is concerned with breaking out of social structures, which is reflected in the title of his exhibition. Delimiting a space for outsiders, the expression Just Stay In The Cold refers to the Chinese phrase “哪凉快，哪呆着去” (literally “go where it’s cool”), or “go jump in the lake.” Tong – himself a flâneur, poet, globetrotter, and free spirit – is fascinated by life on the fringes of society.

OPENING TOMORROW!!
WALKING IN ICE
Ooening: 24th July 1-6pm
Participating artists:Leda Bourgogne, Zuzanna Czebatul, Fanny Gicquel, Nona Inescu, Julian-Jakob Kneer, Ariane Müller & Martin Ebner, Alvaro Urbano, and Tobias Spichtig
Walking in Ice is a group exhibition that explores myriad delicate and dynamic entanglements between the self and the other. The title for the exhibition inspired by a memoir written by Werner Herzog, chronicling a journey from Munich to Paris that the German filmmaker undertook by foot in 1974 to be at the side of his gravely ill friend and mentor Lotte H. Eisner. Walking for three weeks in the deep chill of winter, Herzog was convinced that this act of physical devotion might save the life of his dying friend. Working in a range of media, the artists in the exhibition all deal in different ways with questions of vanity, loneliness, and mortality; a desire for connection; empathy and attraction; a compulsion to memorialize lovers, friends, or family members; the boundaries between the self and the other; and notions of injury, disturbance, and care.

As a Sagittarius, Tong Kunniao is a post-90s young man born in Changsha. His graduation portfolio amazed the undergraduate exhibition of Central Academy of Fine Arts(CAFA). Then he began to participate in various exhibitions across the world. Although succeeded in entering CAFA’s Graduate School, he dropped out after studying for only half a year. Since then, he’s been focusing on art creation with different strange items. He fills his 700-m2 studio in a suburb of Beijing with trash across the world. His works are chaotic, bizarre and whimsical with dark humor.

Group Exhibition "A Year without the Southern Sun" :
until 4th of April, every Tuesday - Saturday from 12 pm to 6 pm in XC.HuA Berlin!
Spring is here! Time to do stuff. This week, we're VERY excited for excellent #Sichuan food at KONG, the return of Kelis(!), and a highly recommended new exhibition at XC.HuA Gallery.
The tension with attraction and danger is produced in Kévin Blinderman’s two works X (2018), which are modified readymade outdoor heaters (the type being outlawed in France for the CO2 pollution they cause). Suspended from the ceiling, facing the viewer at eye level, the warmth and light they project are at once seductive and harmful.
“A Year without the Southern Sun" opened last night, thank you for joining us. The exhibition gathers 9 artists to investigate the relationship between decolonization and climate change, curated by @justinpolera , and will keep running until 4th of April at XC.HuA Berlin.

Neda Saeedi presents a room-sized interactive installation of a futuristic garden of snow globes that is part of an ongoing body of work titled Parasitoid Cell of Desirable Future (2019 - ongoing). Dissecting the notion of gardening, its colonial and imperial dimension particularly as an impulse to collect, rename, relocate and fence-off, in this new work, the artist looks into the emergence of gardening video games—most of which foreground growth and cultivation—such as Minecraft, where the player exists as a plantation owner within a feudal system of market exchange and class division.

Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc’s sculpture Le veilleur de nuit, pour Wilson Harris (2018) a tortoiseshell flipped on its back and partially drenched in a pool of metallic liquid gallium, evokes the conflicts aroused by colonization. The metal is illegal to mine in Germany but heavily mined elsewhere since it is needed for the production of semiconductors especially those used in smartphones. The eerie materialism of his paintings and photographs cast a line between his personal family history and that of semi-visible, ghostly, domination of capital in the age of post-colonialism.

(1. Image) Wheatfield: A Confrontation (1982) by Agnes Denes, who currently has a retrospective at The Shed in New York. It is presented through four photographic documents taken during the process of planting. Denes harvested a wheatfield in Lower Manhattan’s landfill in Battery Park in 1982, a year after Ronald Regan became the U.S. president. The wheatfield was consciously positioned a block from Wall Street, at the foot of the World Trade Center and across the Statue of Liberty—an early ecofeminist action that poignantly relates immigration, world hunger and waste with economic mismanagement and international trade.
(2. Image) Yalda Afsah’s video Vidourle (2018), named after the river in Southern France that empties into the Mediterranean, shows men during a “toro-piscine” (a bullfight on the beach) but never reveals the source of danger. It is a dramatic rendition of man vs. nature witnessed by adolescent girls clutching to a fence in anticipation while adolescent boys prove their foolishness and courage as they taunt the bull’s incredulity.
