⇒讲座与论坛-“M Home：随寓而安”-家、光和可视世界

Light constructs the physical relationship between human beings and their home. This process is often unwittingly accepted, and unlike other lived experiences, it is immune to resistance. Light evokes indescribable emotions that influence dwellers, stemming from visual perception, physiological response, and conscious logic. Wang Yuyang's work incorporates human physiological response to private and public, reflecting the intrusiveness of space. On a symbolic level, light represents the dreams toward and realities of home. Chen Wenbo tries to construct something real yet fantastic about the home, questioning what it is that gives form to our hopes and desires, how these interests are given a role in reality. You Yang invites the two participating artists to discuss the topic of "Home, Light, Visible World" as well as introduce their new projects specially made for this show.
