This year, Zeto Art would cooperate with Luo Bonian Art Foundation to launch a curated project "SYMBIOSE "
The exhibition is focused on two aspects. One is to show people’s thinking under Covid-19 which has been around for nearly two years. The other is to echo the theme of Asianow, "Art of living on a damaged planet ". Nowadays, the society has been highly developed, and under this circumstance, human has been principle to domesticate animals and plants for a really long time. As Max Weber said, through the ages, what people are familiar with is "‘selfsh gene ", and people do not need to cooperate. This idea is silly and fragile especially when people are in the disaster. Actually, as a part of nature, people have "natural characteristic ", which has been ignored for thousands of years, and this natural characteristic wouldbecome the key for people to propagate the race during the catastrophic.
How people could survive on ruins is a vital topic. "SYMBIOSE "means "commensalism ", which presents kind of harmony to live together. With works of several artists, we aim to discuss people’s "original perception ", show to people that human and nature could touch each other, and express that human should take "commensalism " as a way to expand inherent "spheric "at the same time. To realize "SYMBIOSE", weakening humanity and exploring a symbiotic relationship in nature are needed.
