Retrospective Show from 2023 by Jimi Wen

Many of one thoughts (of the present) merge as one word. One of many (projections of) thoughts is encapsulate by no one word. Thoughts lost for words. Wordless unspoken.

Ｗords, forms with rules from mind, in search of thoughts to express, rules are not absolute, but an impression of false image.

Words, act in dao from soul, remembering to understand, dao is incomplete, dao doesn’t look like any image.

Language, acts of image in words, with rules to write and paint, images are not absolute, false images are imaginary thoughts.

Language, forms image in words, understanding comes from letter, images are not enough, images are not past thoughts.

Soul, authors thoughts in text, so abstract that is speechless, thoughts are not singular, thoughts exist false rules.

Mind, act in thought in text, sharing images that are unspoken, thought is never enough, thoughts is on the right path.

That is many of one thoughts (of the present) merge as one word. One of many (projections of) thoughts is encapsulate by no one word. Thoughts lost for words. Wordless unspoken.

The GDAP Plan for the Development of Aesthetic Assets

If society focuses solely on GDP, it will remain confined to the lower levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. We propose GDAP (Gross Domestic Aesthetic Product) as a key indicator, aiming to contribute to society by emphasizing the importance of aesthetic arts. Our goal is to elevate the nation's sense of aesthetics and facilitate self-actualization. However, bridging cultural gaps requires collective effort from many creators and audiences working together.

From fostering aesthetic awareness from a young age (bottom-up approach) to building a community that shares aesthetics, knowledge, and resources (top-down effect), the GDAP plan seeks to penetrate and expand across different groups, including students, emerging artists, corporate collaborations, and the discovery of new art markets. Ultimately, we strive to achieve a world where "beauty resides in the mountains, and is embraced by the masses — beauty is everywhere".
