Artist Di Jinjun's exhibition "Homeland" has received widespread attention and compliment so far. Therefore, We’ve made a decision to hold a new book launch for Di Jinjun's "Homeland" at 5A1 Art Space at 14:30 on April 23, 2023(Sunday). This book is a simultaneous publication of Di Jinjun's solo exhibition "Homeland".
In order to further explore the use of classical image language in contemporary art expression, at that time, Mr. Chun Wai, an independent artist, curator and planner of this new book "Homeland", will have a dialogue with artist Di Jinjun on the spot about "Classical Images Meet Contemporary Art". The two artists will have a dialogue on the reconstruction of classical image craftsmanship in contemporary art expression. Mr. Chun Wai will also share his editing ideas for this new book. At the same time, an interactive Q&A session will be set up at the end of the event. The audience is welcome to actively participate in the interaction.
Whether you are a photography enthusiast, professional photographer, photography artist, or someone who has a strong interest in wet plate photography and photography art, or a fan of Mr. Di and Mr. Chun, we sincerely welcome you to participate in this event. Interaction and discussion with the two artists about photography on site are also encouraged.
