The exhibition It Is Said That… revolves around the reflections of seven artists on everyday life. Their attitudes are varied, but they all choose to construct alternative scenarios of life through performative practices where they perform peculiar, absurd and abnormal actions. These actions remain trivial, but aim to subtly challenge the shaping and constraint from the everyday and gently inspire possibilities of self-refinement and self-liberation. These works of art are hoping to become something like daily gossip, something that, when mentioned, one would not use a serious tone, but faintly say: "It is said that something interesting is happening…."
The reinterpretation of Chinese customs and tropes by Hao Wang manifests the mutual illusions and bondage between children and parents.
