Yellspace cohosts this year’s FAS group exhibition together with Rongyi Art Museum as the second collaboration after “FAS 2018: Awkward” cohosted by Yellspace and ShanghART Gallery M50 in 2018.

The exhibition space is parted into different zones that differ in dimensions, while participating artists pick one of the zones as their own art scene. Artists are asked not to share information when they make the choice so that eventually an unknown random distribution of artworks will be presented due to information isolation. Some zones include more artists, while some zones less, and the unbalanced state becomes a spatial reality as soon as the artist turn in their choice of zone number.

How will the artists who have chosen the same zone construct their “territory” in collaboration? At the same time, different zones are going to present in various forms for the show; how will the various zones create an artistic ecology and landscape together?

About FAS

FAS is an experimental art project initiated by Yellspace and artists since 2017. FAS is originated from the Chinese pinyin of “fa sheng”(occur), “fa sheng”(phonate) and “fa she”(launch), as well as including the meanings of “fast, fascinate, fasten, free art space”.

The FAS project, as the vitality expressed in its name, is currently working with the most energetic and experimental young artists to build our contemporary artistic ecology. We hope to make Yellspace the main exhibition platform and provide more opportunities for young artists all over the country, and even around the globe, to explore, experiment and communicate.
