Opening of LUO YANG_GIRLS Ai Weiwei described Luo Yang as one of the “rising stars of Chinese photography” (New Statesman, 2012). She is well-acclaimed for her portrait-series GIRLS, which has been exhibited widely in China and Europe, featured on Huffington Post, BBC or Spiegel Online. GIRLS defy imposed expectations and stereotypes: they are bad-assed and self-aware, yet insecure, vulnerable and torn, with a supreme sense of cool. The GIRLS-series is bold and up-front, intimate and sensitive at the same time. It explores the themes of youth and femininity, while challenging traditional beliefs about women in Chinese society. LUO YANG will attend the opening. Selected high-quality wines will be kindly sponsored by the fabulous peeps from BottlesXO! LUO YANG_GIRLS 14 – 26 September, MO-Industries 50 Tung Street (The Cat Street Gallery) Sheung Wan Hong Kong WHAT’S TO COME: Luo Yang_Artist Talk & Wine Tasting 22 September, 7 pm. Save the Date!

Girls by Luo Yang Zine Collection N°24, with a signed C Print by the artist, solo-show opening TONIGHT. 50 Tung Street , Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. #hongkongart #hkart #香港 #hkiger #hk #luoyanggirls

« Girls » has been an ongoing photography project since 2007, and has involved me shooting the girls around me in an attempt in which – through the lens of the camera – to grasp some sense of understanding of their lives.

The images included in the « Girls » series charter a period of personal development, with reflections between myself and other girls around me apparent in each shot. Whilst I was growing up, in order relieve myself of loneliness, I tried to find a sense of comfort through the stillness of the photographic image. These images are both private and non-private.

« Girls » is weak and fragile but also persistent and decisive, as the subjects depicted continue to face the tough process of inner growth in a reality ground in friction, full of hope and latent crisis. This duality of fragility and inner strength is a key component to the photographs, where the girls staging is cast into friction with their inner resistence and awkwardness towards being made a subject of. Their own portrayal, after all, is out of their own control, and yet I feel that in this very situation, there is a glimpse of real truth and beauty. Their world is one which is subject to the weight of age and, as the girls lives become intwined with their surrounding society, they find themselves rooted and engulfed within an ever advancing state of uncontrollable perceptions.

I hope that these fragments of lives depicted within my photographs will find a life less tainted within this world, and that therein the girls impending immersion into the struggles of adulthood will remain suspended.

BeSpoke Collection attribution d’un ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) ISSN 2495-4853

Objet : attribution d’un ISSN (International Standard Serial Number)
Madame, Monsieur,
La Bibliothèque nationale de France vient d’attribuer un ISSN à une collection éditoriale dont vous êtes éditeur :
BeSpoke collection
ISSN 2495-4853
L’ISSN est un numéro international normalisé qui permet d’identifier les titres de publications en série (collections éditoriales, journaux, revues, bulletins, magazines, annuaires, rapports, classeurs à feuillets mobiles), quels qu’en soient le support (imprimé, en ligne, cédérom etc.) et la fréquence de parution.
Une publication conserve son ISSN tant que son titre et son support demeurent identiques. L’ISSN est compatible avec l’ISBN : l’ISSN identifie le titre de la collection tandis que chacun des volumes qui composent la collection est identifié par un ISBN (International Standard Book Number).
L’ISSN est une mention légale obligatoire (arrêté ministériel du 12 janvier 1995). Il vous revient donc de le faire figurer sur les prochaines livraisons de votre collection. Il est ainsi prévu que l’ISSN apparaisse lisiblement sur chaque exemplaire, de préférence sur la page de titre de la collection, sur la quatrième de couverture ou dans l’achevé d’imprimer.
