Guan Xiao
by Travis Jeppesen on October 1, 2020
We could say that Guan gives us a playful fabulistic modernism, though I prefer to think of it as a neo-monumentality: These are commemorations of a nonreality whose fantastic beings and events seem superior to our own, a “thingdom of gory,” such as James Joyce conceived in Finnegans Wake (1939).
On Guan Xiao’s recent exhibition at Antenna Space, at Artforum.
