The artists in One Hand ClappingВ are connected by their deep involvement in specific places, namely, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and New York their critical examination of our systems of exchange, communication, and production and their imagination of multiple futures as a form of poetic revolution. Evoking the idea of solitude, the image of вЂњone hand clappingвЂќ also speaks to the ability of artists to put forth a singular vision that can contest entrenched beliefs, stereotypes, and power structures. In this exhibition, вЂњone hand clappingвЂќ serves as a metaphor for the ways in which meaning is destabilized in a globalized world. SalingerвЂ™s 1953 book of fiction, Nine Stories, this koan has also served as the name of a British band, the title of an Australian film, and the title and lyrics of a Cantonese pop song. Popularized by its use as the epigraph to American author J. But what is the sound of one hand clapping?вЂќ Emerging from a tradition that originates in ChinaвЂ™s Tang period (618вЂ“907), the phrase вЂњone hand clappingвЂќ encompasses a history of cross-cultural translation and appropriation that continues into the present. The showвЂ™s title, One Hand Clapping, is derived from a koan-a riddle used in Zen Buddhist practice to transcend the limitations of logical reasoning-that asks, вЂњWe know the sound of two hands clapping. Together, these works challenge a universal, homogeneous, and technocratic future determined by economic growth and technological advancement. Samson Young plays upon our obsession with values of truth and authenticity by inventing an array of impossible musical instruments and digitally engineering their sounds. In her fantastical film installation, Cao FeiВ examines the physical and psychological impact that automated industry exerts on the human body and society. Lin YilinвЂ™s VR simulation tests the potential of such technology to enable us to inhabit the experience of another person or even an object-in this case, a basketball. Wong PingвЂ™s animated video, driven by the artistвЂ™s dark and risquГ© humor, addresses the tension between an aging population and the relentless pace of the digital economy. In her paintings and sculptures, Duan Jianyu celebrates the marginal figures who haunt the transitory zone where rural and urban, primitive and modern intersect. Their commissioned works represent a range of traditional and new mediums, from oil on canvas to virtual-reality software. The artists in this exhibition explore the ways in which globalization affects our understanding of the future.
