Vivien Zhang, RCA Alumni and RCA Riverlight Award winner, will be exhibiting at the newly opened Berlin-based gallery House of Egorn in the inaugural exhibition ‘Mapping in Memory’, alongside artists Yi Dai and Hyoiun Hyun. The exhibition will be opening on Wednesday 29 April.
Curated by Angels Miralda, ‘Mapping in Memory’ features three artists mapping the world in a different way “reflective of journeys and assimilation; unlike the bird’s-eye map, there exist personal elements and experiences, incidents of narrative, and individual fascination. The two terms contradict themselves and each other, clarifying whilst veiling, distorting and making knowable. They converse with each other and bring up notions of human experience, geography, monuments, journeys, and transformations that come about from re-visiting incidents of narrative.”
Vivien Zhang b. 1990, Beijing, China; lives and works in London. After graduating at the Royal College of Art in 2014, the artist was also shortlisted for the Saatchi New Sensations Prize (2014) and has recently exhibited at Art Central, Hong Kong (2015) and Forbidden City Gallery, Shanghai (2014). She has also been shortlisted for the East London Painting Prize and her work will go on show in the forthcoming exhibition at The Rum Factory in May 2015.
