Movement Field

Waldburger Wouters is pleased to announce Movement Field, a solo show with Xu Zhen (produced by MadeIn Company). The show opens on the weekend of September 11 – 13 and will be on view until November 7, 2015.

Movement Field, initiated in 2013 by Xu Zhen, is a long-term art creation and research project. It consists of a garden elaborated from a maze of paths of different sizes. Each path within the garden is the replica – enlarged or reduced – of a protest route collected from the internet. The ideological composition of these socio-political demonstrations that occurred in various places around the world throughout history imposes to the artwork the character of a memorial. A seemingly peaceful garden invites visitors to follow the paths of predecessors and to symbolically reenact these marches.

Movement Field at Waldburger Wouters is set up as a large scale installation with an indoor miniature-garden covering the gallery floor and an interwoven presentation of 10 Movement  paintings. The Movement Field garden as well as the Movement paintings have been specifically created for the exhibition at Waldburger Wouters.
