 uman: a feminist contemplation of the body</i></strong> features current wo
 rks by two Chinese women artists\, Wuhan-based Lin Xin and Vancouver-based 
 Zhou Ran. In this exhibition\, Lin and Zhou incorporate their thinking abou
 t the body and gendered experiences with socio-cultural themes in their art
 .</p><p>An anchor of this exhibition is the body\, body of a woman\, a doll
 \, a cyborg\, and an abstract form of existence. While <em>subhuman </em>me
 ans “a being of a lower level of morality or intelligence than the human\,”
  the strikethrough <em>Sub</em> intends to pose a provocative question and 
 invite thoughts on the social construction of women and the cyborg in a tra
 nstemporal sense.</p><p><strong>Lin Xin </strong>is a multimedia artist and
  associate professor at Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in China. Lin’s art fo
 cuses on digital media and its interaction with reality. Her practice inclu
 des oil paintings\, digital images\, and lighting installations\, which lea
 d the audience into an alternative reality of cyberspace.</p><p><strong>Zho
 u Ran</strong> is a visual artist whose practice is influenced by her conti
 nuous movement across different cultures. Transcending specific national re
 strictions and traditional concepts\, Zhou’s art creates a subtle space loc
 ated at crevices between the concept of contemporary culture and individual
  awareness in a time of globalization.</p><p><strong><i><s>Sub</s>Human: a 
 feminist contemplation of the body</i></strong> is curated by Yubing Guo\, 
 a candidate for the MA in Critical and Curatorial Studies at the University
  of British Columbia. The project is presented by Canton-sardine with suppo
 rt from the Killy Foundation and the Audain Endowment for Curatorial Studie
 s through the Department of Art History\, Visual Art and Theory in collabor
 ation with the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of Bri
 tish Columbia.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Public critique with Joni Low to be he
 ld at 2pm August 23\, 2021 on Zoom</strong></p>
