AIKE-DELLARCO is proud to announce Li Ran's new solo exhibition, opening on September 5 and on view until October 15.
The exhibition will showcase four of Li Ran's newest works, the title of one of which lends its name to the title of the exhibition, "Pretty Knowledge." In a society of the spectacle, "knowledge" has been relegated to merely one element in the spectacle of an installation. In this exhibition, Li Ran employs the mode of performance to feed off, like a parasite, different roles and events, and by mimicking and alternating between historical prophecies, Soviet cinema, imitations, as well as television programs, he proceeds to ridicule and satirize the "knowledge" that is now, more than ever, likely to be a part of a "pretty" spectacle.
