The New Goddess: Volcano Monster and Burning Chandelier is a new fictional cult narration by Zaozao Zhang of a new Goddess
odyssey. Her sculptures and moving images in the exhibition
provide tangible evidence of her battle reclaiming women’s
bodily autonomy.
Female bodies are colonized by tacit conventions; the residual
remains a shame of sex and their bodies. Exhibition The New
Goddess: Volcano Monster and Burning Chandelier includes a
complimentary Dinner Experience as a rebellious manifesto:
“I lay women’s organs in the spotlight, on tableware, blazing
against viewers’ gaze. This is not something to be ashamed of.
Sexual desire is as natural as appetite.”
ZAOZAO ZHANG (b.1998) Interdisciplinary sculpture artist, her works have strong feminist overtones. Manifesting through sculpture, printmaking, performance, and videos, she examines the human body as a symbol of power within the patriarchal framework. Her works resist the colonization of the female body, referencing witchcraft and idolizing the female, infusing it into objects, architecture, and mythology. Fire and poetry offer solace amidst her sorrow of family separation and the struggles faced by the queer community in East Asia. Arising from frailty and strength, her works give shape to her emotions, transforming them into poignant and ephemeral moments. Like witnessing coalescing droplets descending from the eaves, invite viewers to pause and hold the moment for this tiny cold stirring.
