W.ONESPACE Shenzhen presented the group exhibition project Lunar Maria between July 26 and October 10, 2024. Through a reinterpretation of the Moon, Lunar Maria searched for a unique humanistic intersection among past astronomers, contemporary artists, and archaeologists from a broader perspective. Just as the Moon influences the tides of the sea and the behavior of various terrestrial creatures, the personalities, life interests, works, and personal concepts of artists all carry a certain rhythm and periodicity, conveying symbols and metaphors, and even reflections on nature and the universe, to varying degrees. Starting from the naming of the lunar maria, the exhibition attempted to romantically re-examine our existing understanding of the Sea and the Moon. In this experimental space, the personified sea and the objectified human jointly explored and rewrote unique observations of the lunar maria from a new perspective.
