A26 Space, Beijing, presents Fancy Cut, a solo exhibition by Cai Jian featuring a new body of work spanning painting, image-based works, and sculpture. Taking the transformation of raw ingredients through culinary preparation as its point of departure, the exhibition reconsiders the traces of labour concealed within systems of aesthetic production and value-making. By foregrounding the complex material and labour processes that underlie refined appearances, Fancy Cut examines the tensions between creativity and the mechanisms through which value is produced and judged. The exhibition is curated by independent curator Chen Li.
