Brownie Project
PHOTOFAIRS | Shanghai 2019

BROWNIE Project is pleased to present works of four artists at PHOTOFAIRS | Shanghai 2019. Patricia Waller has been creating crochet art since the early 1990s and is the first European contemporary artist to use needled sculpture as a tool of satire; Combining choreography, photography, video and installation, Julie Favreau invites the viewers into a post-gender world-to-come overflowed with conation powers including intuition, erotism and touch; Taken place at the matchmaking corner at Shanghai People’s Park, Guo Yingguang’s performance and photography series The Bliss of Conformity explores marriage and self-value reality faced by educated women in today’s Chinese society. Sewing colored film and thread on black and white foreign landscape, Fan Haoran’s work focuses on the relationship between the objective world and instantaneous emotional memory. For the four artists from different geographic and cultural backdrops, photography exists in their work as a means and outcome of expression as well as an archive, witnessing their trans-media experiment based on personal life experience.
