This is a ‘rock collection’ of peculiarities formed by paintings, noise, and sound. In this exhibition, the artists search and explore the ephemeras of life, the beauty of and from the insignificant. With the irrational urge to profess and share these findings, the artists, with their excess labor, distill and celebrate the inherent joy of discovering these moments' enthralling and uncanny uniqueness. You don’t know all the things that you are. - Tong Pan, Guest Curator
