For this exhibition, we still have to make links with other people's works, even for the whole Fine art students. In the arrangement of the exhibition, we have a more balanced palette in that room. The overall colour palette is grey, but the works' shapes, textures and materials are diverse, and the different mediums reinforce each other. The connections between the works maintain a visual balance.

 

In addition, I learned a lot about installing my work. I worked with the installation team during the installation. It is challenging to ensure that the work is placed parallel to the wall. To solve this problem, the installation team quickly devised a solution for me by adding an extra nail underneath to hold the work in the correct position. Also, in future, I should use screws instead of glues to hold each panel in place for a better and more permanent result. Also, the walls of the Gallery are often more fragile than regular walls, so I should test the walls in advance for future exhibitions to avoid wall skin peeling happen.

During the exhibition, I needed to help audiences understand the art pieces, the working themes and the ideas. The location of the city where the exhibition is being held is also crucial to my work. Each region has a different culture, which leads to other experiences, and obviously, people have different feelings about 'urban depression'. For example, someone who lives and works in London may need help understanding Beijing's 12 am evening rush hour. The idea for this theme came to me while living in Montreal, the largest city in Canada's Québec province. Montreal is a cold and modern city. The winter season can last up to six months and the sunshine hours are very short. At the same time, it is a very modern place where people must work hard to make a good living. In the urbanization process, no one is an individual and people's behaviours have to adapt to the city's development and changes.
