Keke Yang
featured in Gnostic Induction, Coupling Interosmosis
杨可可作品参与群展「灵知感应，耦合互渗 」
1 March 2025
From March 2025, Shenzhen Shekou in the Greater Bay Area will present a collective demonstration of "Gnostic Induction, Coupling Interosmosis". A total of 80 groups of Chinese artists of different generations will be exhibited, covering more than 100 artworks.
Keke Yang's (b.2000) video works Balloon and Pin, Balloon and high heel are a series of dialectical explorations of the potential relationship and issues surrounding social expectations and identity construction with her own symbolic performance. These videos incorporate a tongue-in-cheek tone mixed with irony, humor, and discomfort, reconciling certain aspects of the substance dualism/binary opposition, and presenting them in a degraded and cryptic manner.
2025年3月起，大湾区深圳蛇口将呈现集体展示「灵知感应，耦合互渗 」（Gnostic Induction, Coupling Interosmosis）。展出共八十组不同代际的中国艺术家创作，涵盖超过百馀件艺术作品。
杨可可 （b.2000）的参展影像作品Balloon and High heel和Balloon and Pin 通过镜头对准以她本人的象征性行为表演，展开一系列围绕社会期望与身份建构之间潜在关系及问题的辩证探索。这些影像作品融入了讽刺、幽默及不适感所混合而成的诙谐调式，对某些二元对立博弈的方面进行调和，并以降级的方式隐秘呈现。

About Exhibition
Gnostic Induction, Coupling Interosmosis
In the Gnostic school of cognition of intelligence, the knowledge or consciousness acquired through personal experience is collectively referred to as "Gnosis", and it is believed that the accumulation of "Gnosis" can free them from ignorance and the present world. In the current complex and changing environment, there seems to be a growing lack of dissent for cultural creativity, the early spontaneous organization and form of art individuals have gone offline, the selection of art institutions has become more secure and sound, and the favor of the art market has become more and more convergent to a standardized model. If the present determines the future, all these choices are collective and individual songs of opportunity, which will have a profound and irreversible butterfly effect on future cultural exploration.
This exhibition looks forward to a sense of induction: the link is open, and the field is blended. At the scene, it is very convenient, quick and large to discover that the individuals of contemporary art creation in various periods are engaged in complex and in-depth exploration and practice with each other in different fields of interest. "Coupling" refers to an interaction of influences. This resultant force refers to the interdependence, mutual influence, and mutual constraint between the various parts within the system. The contagion in the presentation follows the law of interpenetration, believing that this energetic spiritual sense will have an incredible projection and gravitational pull on each other's awareness.
