Artists works:
Crystal Kemsley (with special thanks to Alan Xie) "StillBound" A mockery of society; a mockery of self.
The bodies of our foremothers were distorted and crippled, feet broken and bound, then covered by small hand-embroidered shoes so that they could be beautiful.
However, we have not learned from history -fads have simply changed. Manipulating and distorting women's faces and bodies for beauty has not ended.
I replaced silk with leather and lace, embroideries with studs and sequences. Society replaced small feet with small waists, broken bones with reconstructed features.
We pour money into designer bags, drugs, pills, makeup so we can be photographed, edited, and shared for public approval. And here I am, doing it again.

Andrew Crooks, Balloon Self-Portrait
I often use myself as the subject of my art. Balloon Self-Portrait explores vulner ability. In the performance I have screen-printed my face onto a giant balloon and begin to inflate it larger and larger with a tiny, inadequate air pump. Over the course of inflating the balloon, the printed face cracks and distorts. My action destroys the image of myself. I also become exhausted by the repetitive action and struggle, sweating under the intense physical exertion. It’s never certain when the giant balloon will pop, but the furious action eventually results in athunderous boom that fills the space. The repetitious and strenuous action leads to a raucous explosion. The result is destructive, yet is are lease for the one working and struggling to reach the end.

Hu Shasha, Oil Painting
In this series work I explored is the human as an individual person’s unique perspective and emotional choice. In contemporary society the text has been replaced by image which become the main way of acquiring knowledge, here I try to combined different materials with a variety of images to show the complexity of modern life as collage and multi-faced.Images are from newspapers, magazines, consumer publications and Internet picture apps.

After the whole piece of paper pasted together works posted on the wire. This is an almost perfect design, but it is necessary to break the original law, build the new framework. Every piece of graffiti like a flash memory of the work is carefully placed in the back of the wire, for fear that they will be broken. The next paper lattice have been pierce some were painted white thick material. The difference is so tight protection and treatment of those soul suppressed eager.

Wang Dongmei, Oil Painting
My painting works mainly based on pictorial, news pictures etc. I recognize these pictures reflecting human various desires, in an absurd way. Such things asporn, violence, death, war, happen in the world around us every moment. I try to read them with feelings of compassion from bird eye, they are real and illusory, a repeated from generation to generation. Real or unreal these scenes of drama eventually all will pass away.

Wang Xiaorong, Mixed painting
Paper is the carrier of culture, not just physical meaning. There is also a transmitting of natural breath, layered cumulation is the change of time, is the burning material left over. But just like the sun falls and rises every day, after the destruction there is another kind of rebirth. Samsara, endless.

My work is about the experience of in the current. it is not only set up in philosophy of logical oranalyze. Neither negative nor persistence for the objective things. The piecesI was construct is a meditation for the past, the future, and out sider of the world. it is simple and plain, at the same time disorder, also no symbol patterns and metaphor through to the end. Flick the dust from experience and knowledge,it will be aware of the existence.

Wong Zizhou, Performance
Why I choose crawling is because I found it is the best way to express the hard life of people. Mostly we take the painful experiences as bad lucky and have no choice to do anything to the society we live. Crawling is not them ovement people usually do, I felt myself insignificant and hard when I was crawling in the first trying. I choose this way to express my personal frustration to the reality of society.
Doing this performance in the commercial and political street Xidan, is because I’m try to wake up those indifferent people who live in the material acquisitive society, morally bankrupt. The one who need help but are ignored by people. This is my thinking to a sense of presence of the society, and being recognized by the society. Where we are from, and where we will go?
With nothing, naked crawling, the hard situation, aidless. Just like the people from small city come to the big city for making a living, who have to deal with many different certifications which the government required, which is full of the discrimination. Before the stronger we are weak, suffering all the pains alone.

Xu Changyuan, LivePerformance
I choose video as the art medium, a video, a chair, a projector, a screen. I want to face myself honestly. The camera shot at me, projecting and enlarging myself on the screen, just like a mirror before me. I stare at the person on the screen motionlessly.I pray, repent, reminisce, miss silently, I begin to doubt if this person before my eyes is I? Slowly I released and muttering to myself like in dream.

In the original photograph I took for this work, it was of the space at 155 as it was in 2014. For the first five versions of this piece I worked with this photograph. For this 6th piece, It took a second photograph, of the space as is now. It was installed to have a mirror-like quality in the space.

R.J. Tripodi, Allison, 2016, 1m x 4m x70cm, Paper, fishing line, socks, bricks
This piece alters existing conditions within the No-Door exhibition space through minimal intervention. The installation consists of a group of shapes made from paper that hang in a long ceiling hole cut for a skylight. As the light from outside passes through these paper forms it becomes dramatically altered, changing from a cool blue lightinto a warm yellow light. The space inside is filled with this light, but onlya part of the exhibition hall effected. The remaining space is lit with cool natural light entering from outside. This contrast makes the influence of the piece apparent, the differences in light quality become part of the work. Under sunlight the paper forms seem to float into the space like a shinning yellow cloud emitting a warm glow.
