Exhibitions

Year of the Rat Masks

Year of the Rat Masks is an exhibition that documents new work by Daniel Staincliffe made throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the space of a few short months, the face mask has become ubiquitous around the world, acting as the point of convergence for debates around epidemiology, pandemic readiness and even diplomatic relations.

The artist took the face mask as a symbol of the virus’ impact and created new works inspired by specific points in the outbreak, starting with the spread of the virus over Spring Festival.

鼠年大疾口罩

《鼠年大疾口罩》展现艺术家Daniel Staincliffe在新冠病毒疫情期间做的新作品。

在短短的几个月里，口罩在全球变得随处可见，也是传染病学、防疫准备甚至外交的汇点。

在国内的疫情逐渐变成全球的大流行（pandemic）时期，Staincliffe用口罩作为载体，对隔离时期不同时间段做出不同象征意义的口罩作品。

Release—An investigation into compassion

Release is an exhibition of recent works on paper and video installation by British artist Daniel Staincliffe. The project is inspired by the Buddhist practice of ‘life release’, where the artist buys animals intended for human consumption and releases them into the wild. The animal’s movements at the moment of release are captured using the physical medium of ink on paper. The exhibition aims to explore the role compassion plays in the quotidian decisions we make regarding consumption.

放生，一场对仁爱的探索

《放生》是英国艺术家Daniel Staincliffe近年的纸上和视频装置作品的新展览。《放生》这一项目的灵感来自于佛教的“放生”行为。艺术家在放生菜市场上的动物的那一刻，使用墨水和纸张记录着动物的动作及生命。此展览试图探索“仁爱”在我们日常消费问题上的占比。

Exhibition: Fauna Automata: British Wild Boar

In the summer of 2011, Daniel Staincliffe was artist in residence in the Forest of Dean, UK, researching the newly re-introduced population of wild boar. The project’s main body of work were wooden mechanical sculptures, housing disposable cameras, that allowed these elusive creatures to be documented and revealed.

This exhibition, presented for the first time outside of the UK, presents a selection of the 38 grainy, dramatic and often comical portraits of the forest's largest animals.
