On November 2, 2024, the exhibition "Rice: Verses forthe Hungry Soul" hosted by Jiayuanhai Art Museum and co-organized by Crossing Art Gallery will be held at No. 39 Dazhi Road, Jiading District, Shanghai. This exhibition will display more than 20 groups of newly created works with rice as the theme, leading the audience to re-examine this plant that feeds more than half of the world's population. Rice sprouts from seeds, grows into rice ears, and a bowl of rice on the table is made into a documentary and growth record specimen; rice straw is used as raw material, part of it is made into paper to draw a hopeful picture of "straw"; another part is burned into ashes to make "rice ink" and "rice monument"; another part is made into a huge straw rope, extending from the exhibition hall to the rice field; a few lambs are tied to the huge straw rope. In the land without straw, the sheep can only eat the straw rope to gain freedom; the straw shaped into a ceramic installation is displayed forever in a new form. This exhibition is curated by the famous art historian Wu Hung. The exhibition will run until March 2, 2025.
