Cecilia De Nisco：What did you expect from us

2025.04.03-05.18

Cecilia De Nisco‘s new sequence of works for her first solo exhibition in China at TAG Art Museum marks a dual innovation in her practice in terms of colour structure and narrative logic. Through the layering of colour fields and heterogeneous treatments, the artist opens up new interpretative dimensions in her established visual syntax. Her works navigate a fluid space of emotional intimacy and underlying tension: some images seem to summon the viewer to a quiet moment of contemplation, while others hint at thematic threads of resistance. The artist's narrative structure is always non-linear and open-ended, as if the characters and actions are suspended in an unspecified field. In the visual dimension constructed by Denisco, the once clearly recognisable spatial division of ‘domestic-public’ has dissolved into an ambiguous field, handing the viewer the key to contextual puzzle solving.

Viola Leddi: Dear Hateful Spirits

2025.04.03-05.18

Through a trans-historical perspective, Viola Leddi uses airbrush painting and sculpture to focus on the female condition, with a particular focus on the adolescent female population. Her work explores the mechanisms of power that shape and marginalise the representation of the female body, and analyses the dual role of Western and Italian painting traditions and popular culture in reinforcing these mechanisms. In this exhibition, the artist uses Hall 4 as the domain to construct a breakthrough situation: a threshold space without any sense of home, evoking the cold texture of the commercial world and the alienating experience of an empty exhibition hall. Absence and presence alternate here. The human body exists only metaphorically, but its presence is strongly emphasised by the scattered traces and objects. The concept of traces becomes a poetic device for the artist to talk about marginal humanity.

Zhao Gang: Qingdao, Qingdao

2025.04.03-07.27

As the opening exhibition of the 2025 season, TAG Art Museum will present a new solo exhibition ‘Qingdao, Qingdao’ by artist Zhao Gang on 3 April. With Qingdao as the core of his narrative, the exhibition presents his 1978 depiction of Qingdao and his return to Qingdao after a collision of global culture and individual identity through three chapters and more than a hundred paintings, in which ‘Nothing has changed’ and it is still ‘Qingdao, Qingdao’.
