Ziping Wang Explores the Art of Information Overload in 'Act Normal'

As a connoisseur of art who’s navigated through the labyrinth of modern visual culture for years, I can confidently say that Ziping Wang‘s ‘Act Normal’ exhibition at Peres Projects is a must-see. Her captivating, kaleidoscopic paintings are a testament to the complexity and chaos of our hyper-connected world, offering a much-needed respite in the age of information overload.


Ziping Wang is nearly ready to present her Berlin premiere with the exhibition titled “Act Normal” at Peres Projects. Famous for her intricate and vibrant paintings that reflect fragmentation, Wang delves into the intricacies of contemporary visual culture. Her work serves as a thoughtful contemplation, providing a valuable reflection on the era of excessive information.

The exhibition invites visitors to step into the artist’s vibrantly illustrated universe, where past and present merge in a dynamic blend of corporate symbols, childhood playthings, classic still lifes from old masters, and traditional Chinese patterns, all superimposed on a hand-painted transparent grid. With the gentle stroke of a digital paintbrush, this harmonious combination of cultural icons underscores a captivating curiosity about the adaptable nature of images, delving into the hazy boundaries between the authentic and its digitally transformed counterpart.

Amidst the bustle and apprehension of our perpetually interconnected society, Wang stands out with an assured elegance. Her intricate, collage-style works create a unique language, reminiscent of activist symbols and digital jargon she references. Infused with a feeling of future nostalgia, the exhibition Act Normal warmly welcomes the turmoil, thereby encouraging us to immerse ourselves in a swirling tapestry of visuals.

The exhibition will be on view in Berlin from November 29, 2024 through February 7, 2025.
