In the mist of morning dawn and the chirping sound of birds, land our sights on a white house named THIS IS NOT HERE in the English countryside. John Lennon was singing in front of a white piano glinting under the sunlight:
……
You may say that I m a dreamer, but I m not the only one”
I hope someday you ll join us
and the world will be as one
……
In this white space, John Lennon expressed his imagination about “love” and “freedom” through his music. Borrowing Lennon’s idea, this group exhibition “this is not here” showcases the art practices of three young artists, TongTongxi, Xue Haoze, and Yin hui in the early stages of their artistic careers. It creates space for viewers to imagine their future art practices.

We do not know how art began any more than we know how language started. If we take art to mean such activities as building temples and houses, making pictures and sculptures, or weaving patterns, there are no people in all the world without art. If, on the other hand, we mean by art as some kind of beautiful “luxury”, something to enjoy in museums and exhibitions or something special to use as precious decoration in the best parlour, we must realize that this use of the word is a very recent development and that many of the greatest builders, painters or sculptors of the past never dreamed of it.
