Zhang Wenzhi’s The Shark-Deer Chronicle (2023) is currently on view in a group exhibition “Laozi’s Furnace” at White Rabbit Gallery, Sydney, Australia. Early alchemists yearned for an imperishable physical form, anchoring the Chinese concept of immortality firmly within the material realm. In modern times, the compelling artists in Laozi’s Furnace inherit their legacy by delving into material exploration.
Venue: White Rabbit Gallery, 30 BALFOUR STREET, CHIPPENDALE NSW, 2008, AUSTRALIA
