"'1' is a work in the language of the profession, and 'X' is a newly created work." Wei Jia, curator of the exhibition, vice dean of the School of Plastic Arts and head of the Department of Printmaking, introduced.
In order to show the elements of "X", Feng Lu, associate professor of the Department of Sculpture and graduate tutor, in addition to displaying his own sculpture works, also moved a golden elevator car with a slit and a work called "Peeping" into the exhibition hall, which attracted many viewers to "peep" the contents of the elevator; Lou Jin, the master's supervisor of the Department of Sculpture, made concrete into the shape of mountains, allowing artists to push a trolley directly from the production factory to the exhibition hall under the gaze of the citizens along the road Liu Yanyao, a teacher in the Department of Printmaking, used the mobile phone video materials taken by her daughter to produce a single-frequency color video work of "Mom, That's a Butterfly"... Seeing that the teachers had made some cross-border explorations outside of their professional fields, one student who participated in the exhibition said that it was "both fresh and cool".
