Exhibition Summary
Poetry goes no further than language revisits a defining moment in mid-1980s China, when a group of artists began to question existing ideas about art. Among them were the Beijing collective New Measurement Group and Shanghai-based artist Qian Weikang. Drawing on extensive research and careful reconstruction, this exhibition reunites the complete experimental output of New Measurement Group alongside key works by Qian Weikang, bringing this rarely seen chapter of art history to Australia for the first time. A new responsive commission by Melbourne-based artist Darcey Bella Arnold unfolds throughout the exhibition, creating a dialogue across time, space and language.
