press release

Pace Beijing is pleased to present "Beijing Voice: Song Dong Surplus Value" from December 19, 2015, to February 27, 2016, with an opening reception to the public on Friday, December 18 from 4 to 6 pm. As the sixth installment of Pace Beijing's annual project "Beijing Voice," this exhibition will feature Song Dong’s latest series, Surplus Value, a conceptual exploration of everyday “discarded things.” As a leading international artist, Song Dong this year presented a retrospective exhibition of over twenty years of his art at the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands, and Kunsthalle Dusseldorf in Germany. Now, Pace Beijing will close out the year by presenting the artist’s powerful creativity and artistic ideas in this upcoming solo exhibition. In Surplus Value, the artist strips away the external form and internal function of these everyday objects to reveal uniquely delightful abstract installations.
