Sharing Session at Yiwei Bookstore

Geography of Feeling Yiwei Bookstore Sharing Session
On August 25, 2023, Dr. Sophia Kidd shared the inspiration and background of the creation of the exhibition “Geographies of Feeling” at Yiwei Books in Chengdu. Geographies of Feeling is mainly understood in three aspects: natural geography, cultural geography and perceived geography. Why do different subjects have different “perceptions” in the same environment? This is what Kang Shuya is curious about, and it also drives her to go deeper into the research and discovery.
At the sharing session, Dr. Sophia Kidd invited the artist Li Xinmu to share his experience. Li Xinmu thought that Sophia’s combination of “sense” (physical, psychological and cultural) and “knowledge” (concept, thought and intellect) is a kind of redefinition of contemporary art. Li Xinmo thinks that the “feeling” caused by external objects is very precious and rare, so it is worth knowing and exploring more.
