Jie Jue Community

The Jie Jue Community was founded in March 2017 by artists Dai Chenlian and He Xun, with the goal of actualizing creative practices. The Jie Jue Community focuses on emergences and changes in the art world, the specific sectors in which art is created, and commentary on individual methods of working, systems of collaboration, and values. They aim to construct a more well-rounded form of observation and cooperation. The Jie Jue Community also promotes communication between different sectors, regardless of whether or not the exchange is comprehensive, effective, or successful. Current projects for the Jie Jue Community include “Suture: a Selected Poetry Reading by Contemporary Art Practitioners” (2017) in conjunction with You Yang at UCCASTORE, “Shanhe Gallery” (2017) with Sun Shixi’an, which will be held in the Zhatuhui landfill in the suburbs of Beijing, “Brackets” (Platform China, 2017), “Nalin Lake”( Black Bridge, 2016), “Draw Form Life”( Tong Gallery, 2016-2017), “Preparing for Art” (The Surprising Room, 2015), and “BBCT” (Black Bridge forest, Beijing, 2014).
