While embracing the year of 2013, MoCA,Shanghai sincerely invites two Chinese artists Tian Wei and Qiu Jie, who have lived in oversea countries for a long time, to present you a refreshing joint exhibition. Though their perspectives and styles differ from each other, their works reveal same profound life comprehension. MoCA Shanghai wishes to bring the audience to a self-reflecting, peaceful journey for mind through this exhibition.

Both Tian Wei and Qiu Jie were born almost at the same unique period of time in China. They started their journey to the West, experienced different cultures in America and Europe; on their way, they felt confused and even lost when trying to find their sense of belongingness. The overall environment in China has now becomes more internationalized and opened; where different cultures and ideas seem to achieve the peak time for interacting and impacting on each other, thus we sincerely hope our audience may reflect a little and reach to some common understandings through their works.

COLORS BRINGS HAPPINESS TO CANTON

From 17 November to 25 December 2012 the Times Museum in Canton, China, will show a selection
of Happiness and other survival techniques, an exhibition by COLORS magazine which had its world
première at the Design Museum in London in April 2012.
Inspired by the magazine’s 83rd edition Happiness, the exhibit is one of the events of The Light
of Independence, 2012 Guangzhou Independent Publication Exhibition and, through photographic
reportage and illustration, it will take the visitor on a quirky tour on plastic smiles, laughter yoga sessions
and electrodes planted in the human brain.
A chance to get young Chinese people more closely involved in the reality of a magazine that has been
talking about "the rest of the world", away from the limelight of media attention, for over twenty years.

With its 83rd issue Happiness, COLORS offers a survival guide to happiness worldwide, investigating
approaches to joy from Korea, to Mexico, to Finland, and grounding them in neuroscience and psychology
to tell you how best to get your endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and norepinephrine – the
chemicals in your brain which are, scientifically speaking, the only things you really enjoy.
Everyone – from the Dalai Lama to joggers in the park – spends most of his life trying to reach happiness.
In their pursuit of it, Americans spend $20 billion a year on self-help and antidepressants.
But wealth alone doesn't seem to work – people in the West are twice as rich as they were 60 years ago,
yet no more satisfied with their lives. And twenty years from now, the World Health Organization predicts
that depression will be the biggest health burden in the world. The question urgently needs answering:
what does make you happy?

The Light of Independence, 2012 Guangzhou Independent Publication Exhibition is an exhibition
exploring the various forms of independent publications and the experimental ways in which artists,
designers and publishers show their special concept in editing, image making and printing.
As part of the Community Art Festival of the Guangzhou Times Museum, the exhibition shows works
from oversea and Greater China, providing an opportunity to know various kinds of independent publications
in their different forms and contexts. Parallel activities, like cross talks, workshops and night screenings
will also take place. Independent artists, designers and publishers will come together to present
their works and discuss about the development and the future of independent publication in China and abroad.

On November 23th at 7:00 p.m. Mauro Bedoni, COLORS’ Photo Editor, and Laurence NG, the founder
of IDN magazine (which publishes the Chinese edition of COLORS), will give an overview of COLORS’
history, focusing on the idea at the base of the magazine: diversity is good.

yung ho chang: material-ism
UCCA great hall, beijing, china
september 30, 2012 - december 20, 2012

YUNG HO CHANG: MATERIAL-ISM is a comprehensive retrospective of the groundbreaking, cross-disciplinary work of China's first international architect, Yung Ho Chang, and his practice FCJZ/Feichang Jianzhu. For this exhibition, Chang and FCJZ will transform UCCA’s Great Hall into an updated hutong neighborhood, containing six courtyard-like modules that each address a different aspect or focus of Yung Ho Chang's practice, including inhabitation, construction methods, urbanism, tradition, perception, and culture. The exhibition also includes several of FCJZ’s installations conceived and originally displayed in the contemporary art context, as well as two new films.

A systematic presentation of FCJZ's experiments in architecture, design, planning, and art, this exhibition explores the specific predicament of people, the buildings they inhabit, and the cities they constitute in this period of China's unprecedented growth. FCJZ offers witty, thoughtful, and universal design solutions that are at once distinctly Chinese, deeply humanist, and thoroughly cosmopolitan.
