Shenzhen International Low Carbon City
Public Art Exhibition 2022
ART OF BALANCE

Everything in nature is in a wonderful balance, and everything on earth is built around the bond of "balance". Carbon is one of them. Its polygonal structure was originally in linear balance, but in the course of human history, carbon emissions have risen exponentially, shattering the equilibrium that the world has always maintained. This ecological crisis has awakened the people in the midst of the complicated industry, and the question of how to maintain the ties of the past has become the question to be considered today.

​

This year's public art exhibition is themed "Art of Balance" and is centered on two key words: "low carbon" and "energy". The exhibition will feature eight groups of artists from Shenzhen, Beijing, Hong Kong, Nagoya, Japan and Kyoto, Japan, whose works in the form of painting, sculpture, architecture and installation will be integrated into the diverse spatial fields and natural ecological environment of Shenzhen International Low Carbon City. With innovative expressions, cutting-edge international perspectives, open and inclusive thinking, and artistic practices, the artists will re-conceptualize energy and ecology and consider the sustainable relationship between art creation, nature, space and mythology. We hope that people can live in harmony with the ecological environment again and re-examine the way of balance between human and nature.

As the three main sections of this year's public art exhibition, "Infinite Possibilities", "Mysteries of Nature" and "Constructing the Future" express the progressive relationship between human beings and nature from awareness to communion, and show the artistic expression of different dimensions of the issue of "low carbon".
