theTaoOfNow

White Rabbit’s second exhibition, THE TAO OF NOW, presents more than 60 works; only four have previously been shown in Australia. Their themes are as up-to-the-minute as land theft, political power and the lust for luxury goods, but they are also steeped in the oldest parts of Chinese culture: Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, martial arts and ancient legends.

Among the highlights:

  • Wang Yuyang’s full-sized minivan—battered, dust-covered … and breathing
  • the domestic interiors of Dong Yuan, small rooms made up entirely of trompe l’oeil paintings
  • Qin Fengling’s Scaffold, a huge wood-on-canvas structure swarming with figures made of paint squeezed straight from the tube
  • Shi Jindian’s motorbike and sidecar crocheted from blue stainless steel
  • Lin Junting’s traditional ink-painting-style landscape, reinvented in interactive touch-screen video with music
  • Zhang Chun Hong’s 11-metre-long, near-photographic drawing of her own plaited hair
