Dingshan Diary: the Remix

In the framework of the exhibition Dai Hanzhi: 5000 Artists Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art and DE PLAYER present a special commission for the Festival Wereld van het Witte de Withkwartier. Dingshan Dairy: the Remix takes as a point of departure 20 Chinese popular hit songs from the 90’s as featured in the exhibition by artist Liu Ding. Using digital speech software, an ancient Chinese instrument and an extensive visual video diary from his travels in China sound engineer and visual artist Jan Van Den Dobbelsteen has created a perfomative setting immersing the spectator in the overwhelming chaos, power and possibilities of China in the 1990’s.

On Friday September 12 and Saturday September 13 Dingshan Dairy: the Remix is on view at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Witte de Withstraat 50 during festival hours. Live performances with introduction by the artist on Saturday September 13 at 16:00 and 20:30.
