Kangjun Zhong:
Fences of Enchantment

Through a compelling architectural and sculptural intervention, the exhibition investigates institutional authority, spatial control, and bodily discipline. At its center stands a semi-collapsed "monument of authority" constructed from hundreds of hand-woven "medicine packaging bricks"—a material transformed through traditional grass-mat weaving and bricklaying techniques inherited from the artist's parents. Surrounded by symbols of power including tiger stripes, spear-tipped fences, and alluring golden accents, the exhibition exposes the paradox of modern governance, offering a poignant meditation on territorial anxiety and the boundaries of compliance.

About

EY PROJECTS is a gallery specialising in emerging artists on an international scale. In addition to showing local Chinese artists, EY Projects collaborates intensively with Western artists and those of the Global South, committed to introducing diverse artistic expressions to the audience and facilitating meaningful connections and dialogues between China and the rest of the world.

From its inception, EY PROJECTS has stayed at the forefront of the digital marketplace to showcase the narratives of the artists, enabling stories to be told beyond linguistic and geographical boundaries. Opening in Beijing in 2024 and relocating to Shanghai in 2025, EY Projects continues its mission to dismantle the binary opposition through art between the Self and the Other, the Local and the Foreign, the Near and the Far, facilitating worldwide reciprocal understanding.

Centered on exhibitions, publishing, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the gallery engages with core issues in contemporary art such as mechanisms of image generation, narrative structures, as well as medium and materiality.
