The Yellow Ones are Mine

Intelligentsia Gallery is pleased to present ‘The Yellow Ones are Mine’, a group exhibition with works by Elsie Yi Shen (b. 1974, Jiaxing, China) , Engel Leonardo (b. 1977 Bani, Dominican Republic), Sonia & Mark Whitesnow (b. 1986 Kirov, Russia), Jade Townsend (b. 1986 Wanganui, New Zealand), and Zhang Xuerui (b. 1979 Shanxi, China)

Borrowing its title from an eponymous piece by Elsie Yi Shen, ‘The Yellow Ones are Mine’ explores aesthetic strategies and conceptual bridges employed to transform and reclaim bodies, objects, mediums, thought-figures and processes. Through grasping gaze and alchemistic power, each of the works in the exhibition executes a conceptual transformation, from the extraction of commonplace objects and phrases, to the manipulation of images of the corporeal, from time-based painting of geometric colour fields, to performative selection of all the yellow balloons and painting the remaining ones as an act of conceptual appropriation.

Curated by Garcia Frankowski, the forty seventh international exhibition presents photography, artifacts, and painting to dissect the processes of accumulation, repetition, transformation and documentation inherent to the production and realization of everyday (or non-everyday) projects, as everything is transformed, reticulated and painted in order to declare ‘The Yellow Ones are Mine’.

智先画廊荣幸呈现群展“黄色的是我的”，参展艺术家包括沈怡 (1974, 嘉兴，中国) , Engel Leonardo (1977，巴尼, 多米尼加共和国), Sonia & Mark Whitesnow (1986，基洛夫，俄罗斯), Jade Townsend (1986， 旺加努伊, 新西兰), 张雪瑞 (1979陕西，中国)

展览标题借用沈怡的同名作品“黄色的是我的”，通过图形与过程，探索在身体、物体、媒介的转变与改造中所采取的美学策略与概念纽带。通过攫取注视和炼金术般的力量，展览中的每件作品都在执行一种概念的转变：从提取日常物体和短语，到对人体图像的操作，从具有时间元素的几何色域绘画，到选择所有黄气球并对绘制剩余气球作为概念层面的挪用行为。

由Garcia Frankowski策划，第四十七届国际展结合摄影、人造物、绘画，剖析了日常（或非日常）项目的生产与实现中所固有的积聚、重复、转变与纪录过程；如同一切都在转变、链接、被绘制，并宣布“黄色的是我的”。
