ZHENG Guogu&Yangjiang Group

The Yangjiang Group is a Chinese artist collective founded in 2002 by Zheng Guogu (born 1970), Chen Zaiyan (born 1971), and Sun Qinglin (born 1974). The group’s name comes from their hometown. Their work, primarily focused on calligraphy but also incorporating video and sculpture, is characterized by an apolitical and non-figurative approach, with a strong interest in the direct experience of the audience. Inspired by traditional Chinese art, they explore the connections between art, everyday life, and space. The collective also critiques the commercialization of art and seeks to promote the local art scene in southern China, away from the major centers of Beijing and Shanghai.
