Shen Yuan's 'Matteo and I' at Zoo Zone Art Forum in Rome
Shen Yuan (born 1959, Xianyou) presents 'Matteo and I' at Zoo Zone Art Forum in Rome, an exhibition exploring domestic intimacy and daily life through drawings, photographs, and a sculptural installation. The show features 36 drawings on the front wall and 67 black-and-white photographs by Matteo, a young friend, on the side walls. A hemispherical iron-rod structure wrapped in black cable ties, resembling a spiky brain, was cleaned by the artist during the opening as a ritual act. The exhibition opened in 2021.
