About the exhibition:
18.04.2026–18.05.2026
Ceramic Art Avenue Art Gallery, Taoxichuan Creativity Square, Jingdezhen, China
This exhibition is the final result of my three month artistic residency at the Taoxichuan Glass Studio in Jingdezhen, China. It brings together three interconnected bodies of work, all inspired by Hulí Jing, the nine tailed fox.
Hulí Jing literally means “fox spirit.” It appears in Chinese folklore for more than two thousand years — in Taoist texts, folk tales, classical novels, and opera. It is also one of the most gender fluid figures in Chinese mythology.
There are stories of male foxes who transform into beautiful young men to seduce men; others tell of female foxes who fall in love with women. In some tales, the Huli Jing changes gender according to the situation, as if the body were only a ritual garment. This fluidity is not treated as an “error” or “anomaly,” but as a natural part of the fox’s magic.
The exhibition space — the foyer of the Ceramic Art Avenue Art Gallery — is a beautiful combination of concrete, brick, and glass, with an extremely high ceiling. To display my installations, I built four grey toned panels, adapted into movable walls for the exhibition.
I had the honor and joy of opening the exhibition while the multi artist Laurian Run was performing, surrounded by friends and talented artists — friends I have known for only a short time, but whom I feel will stay forever and being able to tell these stories through glass to so many important people, in this beautiful gallery.
