Overview
This Friday: UAL Curation Society visits YDP Space!
We’re announcing our first event of November — a visit to the inaugural exhibition at the newly launched Y.D.P. Space, featuring Duan Jianyu: Yúqiáo, the artist’s first major solo show in the UK in over a decade.
The exhibition reimagines Yúqiáo, a classical Chinese motif depicting a fisherman and a woodcutter, through Duan’s poetic lens. She transforms them into shape-shifting characters that traverse between pastoral myth and contemporary life. Across paintings, sculptures, and archival materials, Duan bridges history, memory, and the present moment with wit and quiet reflection.
