The Nanjing Triennial opened last week, and although a bit chaotic as these things always are on their first night, the show looks very strong. Our artists Zheng Yunhan and Wang Yuyang have new pieces on show.

Zheng Yunhan has produced a photographic piece from his new series of works, ‘Sunflowers Project’. The works from this project stem from the planting of a landscape of sunflowers near his home town of JiXi, in Northern China.

In a darkened room Wang Yuyang has created the installation ‘Tonight I Will Consider Who I Am’, which follows on from ‘Moon-Landing Programme’ from 2006. The astronaut and his craft are now subject to some unknown disaster, set adrift in the cold and pitch black of space, the only source of light (and potential hope) being the intense flame of a welding torch, flickering amongst the wreckage.
