QI AND XI·BornTo Live
Zhu Xiaojie Solo Exhibition
First I have to clear the definition of “QI” when i decided to use “QI ANDXI” as the theme of the Solo exhibition,assuming it would match my personalunderstanding.I’ve looked it up in the dictionary for standard definitions,however turns out that i still prefer to imagine it in an Oriental way,more relatedto the exhibition.
Where the wood is ,there’s home; Where the wife is,There’s home.
Home is where you can experience;Home is where you can quiet down.
Then we can think,Only when we quiet down.
So i define “QI”as “Material”,”XI” as “Spirit”,then realise howimportant the home is.
The Exhibition attemps to tease out a line from the concept of furniture,itscentered with “QI AND XI” among all of my personal practial and design works by using local language,materiallanguage,technique language,western language, aesthetic language,Lao Tselanguage to reflect current design status of China,meanwhile hopes to connectworld of greatness but worldliness from a small point.
