Wang Jun: Off the Beaten Track

No matter how you look at it, talking about Off the Beaten Track has to start with Three Days, Three Nights - specifically the third iteration of the project that takes place in late 2019 in the Dong village of Huanggang in Liping County, Southeast Guizhou. It was in the project practice of using the public space of the ethnic minority villages as a specific field that the artist re-recognized the potential of “Sketching & Place“. “Sketching” is an encounter that requires the return of the body to a specific site, a kind of physical projection on the site. The potential that this influence inspires is all-encompassing. Local history, field, personal memory and emotion, art ontology, walking and mobility, and multi-dimensional writing are beginning to be actively emphasized and invited by artists.
