Art Basel Hong Kong 2015: The Remedy - Zhang Yanzi

What does the feeling of pain remind you of? A bruise? Migraine? Suffering from a long-term illness? Or perhaps the breakup with your significant other? Or the loss of your loved ones? Every pain requires a remedy and each person recovers differently. Some may rely on the use of medication.  Or a cosy bed. Perhaps a cup of hot chocolate or even a mother’s comforting hug. If topical treatments can only heal wounds and sickness, what will bring a true and lasting cure to our wounded hearts?

At this year’s Art Basel Hong Kong, Galerie Ora-Ora will be presenting renowned Chinese contemporary artist Zhang Yanzi and a distinctive presentation of her Remedy series to our viewers. Following her previous exhibitions at Beijing Today Art Museum and Pan Palazzo delle Arti in Italy, Zhang would like to not only invite the audience into a strange yet familiar atmosphere of pain and relief by heightening audience's sensation, but also a personal journey to re-examine the fragility and meaning of life.
