German Artist Stephan Hausmeister realized his recent ‘Field of Vision’ multimedia project – at the art studio of the Gao Brothers located at Dashanzi, the art district of Chinas capital city.

After an open call, photographers contributed pictures, an amazing amount of almost 1000 images were in the final selection pool for the 10m long and 2.5 m high collage.

An international team of artists including the American painter Paul Dacey worked together on this collage which is now showcased at the gallery space of the brothers.

Special features of Chinese Writer and Artist Feifei Lu, British Video artist Helen Marshall, Photographers Alison Dalwood, Jenny Kao and mixed media artist Sam Jury are part of the current show.

To complete the concept of a multimedia installation, each focus point = picture of the collage can be clicked in the final version of the field of vision website, additional informations to the individual artists and selected picture is available if provided before as well. 
 
 

The secret exhibition
Besides the remarkable project of Stephan Haausmeister, the gallery hosts held a ‚secret exhibition’ of their latest works, the ‘Miss Mao’ sculptures. Due to severe problems with official authorities because of the ‘controversal image’ used, it was not possible to showcase them in the main gallery room but behind a wall to wall curtain in the back-corner of the space. More issues with the authorities might become reality in the near future for the famous Chinese photographer duo.
