"New Classics of Mountains and Seas" Exhibition at Zhejiang Museum, China

The exhibition "The New Classic of Mountains and Seas" focuses on the basic characteristics and cultural backgrounds of ancient Chinese mythological thinking. The exhibition concept is based on the famous Chinese text „The Classic of Mountains and Seas“ (third century B.C. to second century A.D.) which brings together a treasure trove of rare data and colorful fiction about the mythical figures, rituals, medicine, natural history, and ethnic peoples of the ancient world. The exhibition combines multiple possibilities of new interpretations of the classical mythological text through multi-sensory experiences such as painting, photography, video projections and installations.

Several artworks from Michael Najjar's acclaimed "outer space" series are featured in the exhibition including a 15 meters wide projection of the video "orbital cascade_57 - 46“.

Exhibition dates: 29 September - 29 November 2020
