Renke Art Center is pleased to announce the opening of 10 artists’ group exhibition “Open Sky” on August 19th, 2017. Artists included Li Xiuqin, Chen Haiyan, Han Dong, Jing Shijian, Guan Huaibin, Wang Kai, Zhang hao, Yang Ming, Sang Huoyao and Tian Wei. Through this exhibition “Open Sky”, artists provide us with a secret key into a new space-time relationship, and offer a new way to see the world in their own thinking dimensions. These discussions are based on a common historical background – artists’ reacts to the era of multiple values, to uncertainty and disorder, and their responds to the new world.

Therefore, “Open Sky” becomes a new breath of freedom. And it will never be superfluous to look up to the sky in openness and seek inward to find truth.
