Human Error
by Household and Dario Utreras |
|
For the exhibition at Chinese Arts Centre, Household have created works that explore the relationship between machines and their users. The smooth operation of our daily lives relies heavily on the assistance of various machines. Technology makes our life easy but frustrates us when it lets us down. The exhibition highlights our reliance on machines to complete daily tasks and emphasises the potential for human error.

Lanwei
by anothermountainman |
Chinese Arts Centre presented anothermountainman's first solo photography exhibition in the UK, Lan Wei / Decaying End. The exhibition featured a number of haunting large-scale photographic prints of abandoned, incomplete building projects from across Asia.
Following the opening of its doors to foreign investment in China in the 1980s there was frenzied investment in real estate, which was exposed to corruption and that led to an eventual collapse of the property market in the late 1990s. When the bubble burst there were huge numbers of building projects that were abandoned and left unfinished. In 1998, in Hainan alone, a combined floor space of 16.3 million square meters were aborted or left unfinished. This wave of abortive building construction spread across other Asian cities that also experienced meteoric economic growth and collapse. The photographs in the exhibition were taken in China, Thailand, Cambodia, Turkey and Singapore.
