On the 18th of March 2021, Tang Contemporary Art is proud to present “Low Fever,” the Hong Kong space’s first group exhibition of women artists born in the 1990s, on March 18. This show will present more than twenty works by six artists: Chen Ruofan, Etsu Egami, Kaito Itsuki, Wang Xuebing, Wang Xiyao, and Yan Bingqian.

 Artists born in the 1990s grew up at a time when information technologies were developing rapidly, bureaucracy was being reduced, and knowledge was being shared in an egalitarian way. They matured as previous generations were establishing comparative methods for them. This generation of artists has now made its way into the contemporary art scene, and in a moment when gender has become a global focal point, women artists of this generation no longer merely articulate the distance or antagonism between the sexes in their paintings. Their methods are diverse meta-expressions; taking advantage of their times, these women artists have had the ability to make breakthroughs in meta-painting and “sexist” painting. More than any previous generation, those born in the 1990s find themselves in an intermediate state. When faced with attacks from both the past and future, what kinds of languages or attitudes should they employ? They keenly and casually move their brushes across the canvas, and their sensitive pre-emption of knee-jerk reactions to the “youth crisis” presents as a low-grade fever.
