“Live At is not a regular exhibition. It is a group project. In Live At to solely show is not the goal. The exhibition will take different forms in order to construct new conditions. Live At aims at exploring the relationship between art and social reality, art and space, art and the audience, art and the commonplace.
Guest curated by Xia Yanguo, the exhibition invites more than thirty international artists to create 24-hour shows. Live At is not a simple objectification of art. Live At aims at engaging with the public establishing new relationships between the artist and the audience. ”

The space is so tiny, tucked away in a hutong next to a stinky public toilet. But the experience was so real. A flow of works and new ideas being continuously carried out, being created, finished, critiqued, reflected and reviewed. Inclusively engaging viewers and makers to generate conversations between each other.
3. IDENTIFY ONE SUBSTANCE OR MATERIAL
Sand. Sand has the solid quality but at the same time contains fluidity within. It can be sculpted and re-sculpted into new things.
