Zheng Chongbin: "Immeasurable Things"

Zheng Chongbin’s (b.1961 in Shanghai; lives in San Francisco) visual philosophy form ties between phenomenology and New Materialism. Zheng’s hybrid practice of painting, video and light space installation investigate the spectrum of perception through the experience of self and being.

Converging the idea of being and human connections to the greater ecosystem, Zheng’s new works embrace the visible and the invisible. Categorical intuition manifests that there are always concealed layers in any perception. Fluidity, versatility, metamorphosis, the intertwining and the immeasurable — is human existence.

Zheng acknowledges the human presence as a vessel for the understanding of nature’s phenomena. The videos are a compilation of synthetic mindscapes (derived from the artist’s research with Stanford University), natural landscapes (environments captured by the artist) and archaeological object. Choosing to break out of the static, Zheng’s site-specific installation branched out to synthetic materials, ranging from video, screens, glass, vinyl sheet, scrim, steel beams and more.

Zheng Chongbin will be in conversation with Dr. Yeewan Koon at the Asia Art Archive on 22 March, from 6:30pm to 7:45pm. Email us to RSVP for the event.
