In 798 Art Zone, Long March Space presents ‘Form of the Formless’ a solo show by Zhan Wang, one of the most important contemporary multimedia artists in China today. His practice in sculpture challenges the conventional ideas about time and space, breaking with conventional perspectives on distance, perspectives and proportions of microscopic substances. In this project the artist investigates the form and formless properties of materials in their actual configuration in relation to the surrounding space.
