Project RED 殷赤绯丹紅

Red, is something immersed with fantasy. Someone may find it dreadful, and someone may see it as a plaintive tale. In a world of red, it ‘s nothing there but only a vast expanse of signifier. Dig into the history of mankind, red is the first color to be recognized and named. In the eddy of time, human gives red different meaning, and Red, thereby, mingles and bequeaths these meaning to the universe. Just one click on the mouse, here red comes.

“Red is the warmest of all colors. Red is the color most chosen by extroverts and one of the top picks of males. On the negative side red can mean temper or anger. In China, red is the color of prosperity and joy. Brides wear red and front doors are often painted red. Red is Tuesday's color. Red roses symbolize passionate love. Ruby rings should be worn on the left hand. Red is the color of Mars. This planet is known as the God of War. Red is the color of blood, and as such has strong symbolism as life and vitality. It brings focus to the essence of life and living with emphasis on survival. Red is also the color of passion and lust.”

This is a project about red; this is also a project about what is red.

Since the mid of 2007, a group of artists affiliated their life with red. They attempt to fascinate people with the weapon of red. This weapon is tender yet ferocious, as though the human on earth. With the ambiguous attitude of this unique colour, these artists thus link it up with the living world – culturally, emotionally and politically. It crosses years and flies upon generations. And red is now incarnated into different forms and medias, pervading the entire exhibition venue.

The project of red is a process with no end. Red interprets itself, and human re-interpret red.

Red, is in its looping motion.
