Review: From overseas to investigate YOU Jin-Dong's Recent Works 尤劲东新作隔洋观
Jin-Dong YOU 尤劲东
Yan ZHOU
In this review written by Zhou Yan, the major concern is the artist's exhibition in 1998, "My Window-You Jindong album exhibition of own works." For further information, please refer to https://digital.kenyon.edu/zhoudocs/391/. This exhibition essentially reflects on the history of the Cultural Revolution. The artist, who has personally experienced the period of time, regrets the crimes he and other people have committed. With guilt, he dissected the time, individuals, and collective unconsciousness through a little "window," a representation that occurs in every one of his works, for the audience to pry into the tragedies and chaos out of ignorance. Then, Zhou Yan also discussed the new technology adopted in the works and the artist's transition from academic realism art to modern art. Then, at the end, he reflected on the poster of the exhibition to put his works in a pluralist and post-modernist context. In other words, the work goes beyond trauma and sins and involves the discussion of the identity of Chinese.(Zhuocheng Jiang '26)
