Museum Exhibitions
Ilya & Emilia Kabakov Group exhibition 'Modeling the World' in China
15 March—7 September 2025
Aranya Art Center, Beidaihe, China
The group exhibition Modeling the World presents four parallel projects, inspired by and constructed from architecture and models. Here, models become metaphors for a range of concepts, social phenomena, emotions, memories, and imaginations. From spiritual architecture to public space, Aranya has long used architecture to shape its unique social life, culture, and aesthetic, which is itself a starting point for this exhibition. For this reason, this exhibition also presents models and design drawings from representative works of architecture in the Aranya community. Modeling the World attempts to explore how the model exists in the contemporary artist’s practice as a tool, medium, and way of thinking, and to provide new perspectives to help us understand the world.
