New Exhibition at Langyuan Vintage | The 9th 'I AM HERE' Annual Exhibition of Young Artists 2025 Opens in Beijing on september 7
On September 7, 2025, the 9th "I AM HERE" Annual Exhibition of Young Artists will grandly open at LANNG Art Center. Under the theme "Off the Wave", this exhibition builds an island of freedom for a group of young artists who choose not to be swept along and remain loyal to their self-expression.
The curatorial team has keenly captured the dual predicaments faced by the group of young artists: society's definition of "quick success" and the one-dimensional shaping of "visual interest". Through the theme "Off the Wave", it responds profoundly, opening up more spaces for possibility in artistic exploration that breaks with convention.
The exhibition focus on those young artists who do not stand on the noisy crest of the wave and always hold a passionate creative enthusiasm and cultural consciousness. They refuse to be defined and do not blindly follow paradigms. They are building their own paths of expression on the edges or in the depths of the mainstream vision with their unique artistic languages and profound individual reflections. They are creating cultural values with enduring vitality.
