Play has a dark side which frequently makes waves in popular entertainment, video games, and media. Art, too, becomes an arena for toying with taboo themes and pushing social boundaries to their limits. Through their tongue-in-cheek creations, the artists in XSWL shatter once-innocent veneers, warning us that itâs all fun and gamesâŚuntil someone loses an eye.
đ Open: Wednesday-Sunday
â° Gallery Hours: 10am-5pm
â Teahouse Hours: Dumplings 11am-3.30pm, Tea 10am-5pm

Looking to the stars as they shone in the night sky, Zeng Liansong recalled the Chinese proverb: âlonging for the stars, longing for the moonâ. It inspired him to design the Five-Star Red Flag that would change the face of a nation. First raised in 1949 to mark the creation of the Peopleâs Republic of China, a star was revealed for each of the four revolutionary classes: the working class, the peasantry, the urban petty bourgeoisie, and the national bourgeoisie. The largest star of all unifies these classes under the Chinese Communist Party.
But what is the future of class in China? At a time when the nation is rapidly transforming into a global economic and political powerhouse, issues of class stratification and social mobility become increasingly urgent. Already in place are divisive social engineering policies such as the Hukou system, which splits the population into two categories: rural and urban. This geographic lottery determines the fates of millions who are pushed to the margins of society and rendered invisible.
The artists in this exhibition offer their nuanced perspectives, highlighting both the struggles and the aspirations of different groups within Chinese society. Whether we are viewing the world from the perspective of a factory worker in Guangzhou or a wealthy entrepreneur in Beijing, cutting across all boundaries is the need for harmony and belonging. Uniting the divide; between the poverty stricken and the politicians, labourers and ethnic minorities, clubbers and cowboys, is the rallying cry â I AM THE PEOPLE.

When wandering through the streets of imperial China, amidst bazaars and teahouses, one might stumble across the figure of a storyteller. Crowds gather around this lone narrator, whose tales of mystical beasts, warriors, and immortals, infuse the air with enchantment. Yet in recent years Shuo Shu, or the art of storytelling, has become a dying tradition. Contemporary Chinese audiences have instead turned their attention to digital content.
.
The artists in âShuo Shuâ map the evolution of the story from timeless myths and literary romances to political propaganda and modern-day censorship. Artists become shapeshifters, and their stories twist and turn to fit within codes and secret messages. Whilst a closed mind is like a closed book, stories reveal themselves to those who are open.
