Xiao Han
Xiao Han presents large photographs as ‘stills’ from a fictitious movie set in late 20th century
China, after the suppression of the Tiananmen Square Protest and the inauguration of the onechild policy. The artist plays multiple roles in sites that are specifically gendered, to expose
the exceptional impact the population control laws had on women. Traumatized social and
psychic perspectives emerge from the political turmoil, registering as uncanny absences and
repressed delays.
Reception: Friday October 23, 7 ! 10pm
