Overview
Poster of artist Feng Bingyi's Solo Exhibition "Fool's Gold" designed by A Thousand Plateaus Art Space in 2018

Feng Bingyi's exhibition chooses the theme "Fool's Gold, since the copper mine has the weight and appearance that are extremely close to the gold. The copper mine has tricked many gold rushers. It is titled as“pyrite, scientifically, and raises the questions. It is actually in front of people when they see what they have been always searching for. Are they willing to be tricked by it? Even just for a moment of the visual satisfaction? Feng Bingyi's work is based on this kind of humanistic concern, which is carried out by those unexpected "logical collages" and "imagery jumps".

Press release

Feng Bingyi's exhibition choses the theme "Fool's Gold, since the copper mine has the weight and appearance that are extremely close to the gold. The copper mine has tricked many gold rushers. It is titled as“pyrite, scientifically, and raises the questions. It is actually in front of people when they see what they have been always searching for. Are they willing to be tricked by it? Even just for a moment of the visual satisfaction? Feng Bingyi's work is based on this kind of humanistic concern, which is carried out by those unexpected "logical collages" and "imagery jumps". All of these efforts are just to make the ineffable things look better and more sincere. Here's her statement - or text paving, let's take a look: 

 

Fool’s Gold

 

Gold Rush Road is certainly a long road, cross over the mountains for 15 days, my backpack tape like a blade cutting causese me a lot of pain. I am not a clown, I will not fall back. I do not need you to tell me what happened.

Sink sink and sink.

I stand alone - I look at you. I see you sinking.

I stand alone - you are weighing the gold. I watch you sinking.

 

These boots are for walking, Marquis de Sade does not wear such boots.

Gold is at the corner, the collapse follows.

Sometimes you have to work hard to deal with it.

I know the truth, I know what you're thinking.

Fool's gold.

Suppose my works are the boots, but these boots are not for walking.

They are just the anchors in this symbolic world.

Do not suspect whether what you have seen is the real gold or the fool's gold.

Or keep suspecting.

 

The key words of this solo exhibition are: sink, submerge, chase, fool’s gold
