Features: Just like the name of this exhibition on the architectural practice of contemporary Chinese art, "Node" is the fundamental form of all forms. The artists fully unleash their imaginative power, interpreting the architecture of concepts and human spaces from the perspective of non-architects, which is a practice distinct from that of architects. The artworks exhibited here focus on the attention to architecture as social behavior of humans, reflect on the problems inherent in architectural behavior itself, and evoke associations with other issues triggered or suggested by architecture. There is neither an attempt to "beautify" nor merely a pure formal expression. In their works, the artists express aesthetic reflections on artistic creation while demonstrating the complex relationships between art and architecture, culture and life situations. Their understanding of the aesthetics or philosophy of their own life situations constitutes the specificity of the culture that is currently taking place.
