The theatre was built during a period of intense industrial development throughout the 1940s, 50s and 60s, fuelled by the assistance of communist allies in the USSR and DDR, in which Jiuxianqiao changed from a rural area into a conglomerate of factory infrastructures as part of China’s development of advanced electronics – it was here that the first Chinese computer was invented. The Hongxia Theatre was located at the heart of this activity, functioning as a social space until its permanent closure in 2008 in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics. In 2015, following the demolition of her previous studio, Cao Fei came across the theatre and moved in, initiating what would become a five-year research project mining the social and economic histories of this charged space and its surrounding neighbourhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking like an archaeologist, Cao Fei seeks to propose alternative versions of the theatre and its history, as neither the narrative of China’s electronic industry nor the life and fate of an entire generation has ben fully explored until now. The HX project has become an ambitious time-space complex, and the resulting publication developed alongside the project has taken shape over the course of this long-term research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe publication follows its own logic and rhythm, acting as a counterpart to the artworks that Cao Fei created as part of the project, as well as the exhibition Blueprints. The publication begins with a collaborative text by Serpentine curators Joseph Constable and Rebecca Lewin on the exhibition, followed by a text by Cao Fei. Research-architect, archive editor and writer Jiang Jun considers how China’s modernisation over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has wavered between dependence and independence from geo-political forces; Research Scholar and Lecturer at Princeton University, Deborah Kaple, has written an introduction to the development of Sino-Soviet relations during the 1950s; Wang Hongzhe, Professor in the School of Journalism and Communication at Peking University, has written an essay on the development of the electronics industry during China’s Great Leap Forward (1958-62); curator and writer Yang Beichen’s text builds upon his research into Cao Fei’s studio, the Hongxia Theatre, and takes the form of a cinematic media-archaeology focused on her film, Nova; Architect Che Fei has written a text that discusses the origin and characteristics of architectural planning during the new collectivism that arose after China’s ‘reform and opening up’ period, and Zhao Song has written a new science-fiction story that bridges the history of Hong Xia and its possible future. The book closes with a new conversation between Serpentine Artistic Director, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Cao Fei and Yang Beichen, which took place at the artist’s studio in spring 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe images selected for this publication are compiled in the form of an ‘atlas’ that creates an alternative narrative: the visual materials originate from the research process of Cao Fei, who has collected them from different resources, including family albums of local residents, illustrations of publications and periodicals, archival materials of institutions, and works of photographers. These visual materials and the texts are interwoven, which renders a montage-like visual rhyme throughout the publication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHX does not simply function as an artist’s publication, since it has a complex and open structure that corresponds to the irreducible depth of the issues explored. To some extent, HX could be regarded as an intellectual experiment, which transcends the significance of the HX project itself and expands to a wider consideration of the past and its relationship to our contemporary world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAUTHORS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChe Fei\u003cbr\u003eDeborah Kaple\u003cbr\u003eJiang Jun\u003cbr\u003eWang Hongzhe\u003cbr\u003eYang Beichen\u003cbr\u003eZhao Song\u003cbr\u003eHans Ulrich Obrist\u003cbr\u003eJoseph Constable\u003cbr\u003eRebecca Lewin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEDITORS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYang Beichen, Editor\u003cbr\u003eJoseph Constable, Editor\u003cbr\u003eRebecca Lewin, Editor\u003cbr\u003eMiao Zijin, Associate Editor\u003cbr\u003eEllen Larson, Associate Editor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDESIGNER\u003cbr\u003eSun Xiaoxi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePUBLISHER\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pavilion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerpentine Galleries\u003cbr\u003e(co-publisher)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e170 x 240 x 35 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e512\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW141310374 BCX8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"SCXW141310374 BCX8\"\u003e© Photo: readsreads.info\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serpentine Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35587322282149,"sku":"978-1-908617-65-1","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2113\/7453\/products\/Featureimage.jpg?v=1597161272"},{"product_id":"james-barnor-j-peter-dodoo-jnr-yoga-student-of-mr-strong-ever-young-studio-accra-c-1955","title":"J Peter Dodoo Jnr., Yoga student of “Mr Strong”, Ever Young Studio, Accra, c. 1955","description":"\u003ch3\u003eJames Barnor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJ Peter Dodoo Jnr., Yoga student of “Mr Strong”, Ever Young Studio, Accra, c. 1955\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInkjet Print to Hahnemuehle Pearl 285gsm\u003cbr\u003e203 x 220mm\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 150 + 50 APs\u003cbr\u003eStamped and numbered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e£120 (incl.

Abramović performed this work every day for three months. The pared-down nature of this exhibition corresponded to Abramović’s interest in the historically well established relationship between art and ‘nothingness’; The idea of emptiness – of minimalism, reduction and simplicity, and has increasingly led to ‘more and more of less and less’ in Abramović’s work. It was this journey towards immateriality that led her to this unique moment in her work, where she committed to an unscripted and improvised performance in the gallery space.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis new limited edition by Marina \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbramović\u003c\/span\u003e has been generously donated to the Serpentine Galleries on the occasion of the Galleries' 50th Anniversary. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serpentine Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Unframed print","offer_id":41904013705381,"sku":"","price":500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Framed print","offer_id":41904013738149,"sku":"","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2113\/7453\/products\/Webimage.jpg?v=1651236510"},{"product_id":"james-barnor-limited-edition-set-of-two","title":"James Barnor: Limited Edition Set of Two","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout a career that spans six decades and two continents, British-Ghanaian photographer James Barnor has captured major social and political changes, while cultivating a richly layered practice that encompasses the genres of studio portraiture, photojournalism and social documentary photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAccra\/London: A Retrospective\u003c\/em\u003e, focuses on the period 1950-1980, selected from more than 32,000 available images.
