Memories of daily life reflect a particular moment in time, a collective conscience, molded by the limitless tactile minutiae and contemplative musings constructing history. Through a series of routine behaviors, works in the public sphere intervene with daily memory, achieving broader resonance within societal mechanisms.

Art collective Polit-Sheer-Form's multi-disciplinary projects address the idea of “we” in a “me” world, and their activities of talking, traveling, eating, reading, and playing together form the basis of their commentary on political, cultural, and spiritual life in twenty-first century China. Polit-Sheer-Form’s five members were born in the 1960s—a lost generation with memories, albeit only childhood memories, of High Socialism. As a result they have sought to reconstitute the visuality and affect of the socialist moment, distilling its political imperatives into pure (sheer) forms, devoid of content. During the UCCA exhibition ”Polit-Sheer-Form: Fitness for All,” three of the collective’s members, Leng Lin, Song Dong, and Hong Hao, hold a dialogue with Xu Zhiyuan and Yang Beichen.
