Overseas Chinese Town (OCT) Loft

🌲🌲To avoid burdening the nation, I became part of those celebrating the New Year away from home~ The usually bustling streets are somewhat deserted; friends here are caught up in the homecoming rush, and a sense of loneliness as a stranger in a foreign land washes over me...

Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town's new exhibition—"Power Plant". In this exhibition, Xie Wendie will also set up a unique visual experience according to the spatial structure of ArtBay, allowing the works and space to have a new conversation. In Xie Wendie's works, the intuitive capture of shapes and the subconscious depiction of images go hand in hand, attempting to trace the changes in thoughts. Through her own feelings and local experiences, she poetically and interestingly presents the subtle connections between things. Xie Wendie's creation is a circuitous experience, from initially receiving 'glass modeling' training, through the tortuous path of craftsmanship, to gradually establishing a connection with herself and the outside world with the joint action of materials and craftsmanship. Her preference for 'glass' material actually stems from the connection with 'glass' she feels. Xie Wendie is fascinated by the dialectical contradictions of glass (whether it's the visual perception, the making, or the metaphorical aspects of the phenomenon)—just as she is fascinated by puns, the tangible and intangible, opposites and similarities, dreams and reality, etc.—and uses it as an entry point to juxtapose and relate to other materials, becoming mirrors to each other. This has become her way of expressing and understanding the world. Xie Wendie's works contain various 'forces': the force between object shapes, the force between shapes and space, the force between materials and time, the force between the body and materials during the creative process, and so on. Due to materials and craftsmanship, Xie Wendie often wanders between various factories to complete her works. The 'factory' is not only the base of labor but also the place for the artist to observe and communicate. The subtle relationship between the artist and the craftsmen mutually influences the creation of the works and produces different degrees of resonance.

Tucked away in a residential building near the Overseas Chinese Town Creative Park The space is quite small, but it's packed with all sorts of cultural and creative/artistic peripherals. I really love this sense of maximalism. There are so many cute and interesting illustrations, postcards, and small items. If you like drawing or keeping a journal, this is the place to rush to! !

🌀 The weather is okay after the typhoon, it's just a mix of sunny and overcast, but at least it didn't rain. I was lucky, the weather cleared up when I was taking photos, and I could see the blue sky and white clouds. ❗️OCT really matches well with the Japanese style too! ➡️ Travel Guide (Subway Travel Edition) 🧭 Navigate to "OCT Creative Culture Park". 🚇 Take the subway to Line 1 "Qiaocheng East Station" Exit A and walk about 700 meters, or Line 2 "Qiaocheng North Station" Exit B and walk about 1000 meters to enter the park. 🗺️ OCT is divided into South and North areas. Decide where to start your visit based on which subway exit you come from. The park is not small, but it's not confusing either, you can wander around freely. 📷 For the photos, the location is straight ahead from Qiaocheng North Exit B to the overpass. I went there around 4 pm, and the sunlight was slanting into the overpass, which is great for taking pictures. The 7th and 8th photos were taken inside the park. ‼️ Tips 1⃣️ If you're going there to wander the streets on your own, be mentally prepared. There are many groups doing street photography on weekends, and the park is quite crowded. You might need to overcome some awkwardness (I personally feel I still need to work on my courage). 2⃣️ There are quite a few nice coffee shops in the park. If you want to check them out on weekends, I suggest going early, otherwise, it can get a bit crowded. 3⃣️ It's recommended to bring mosquito repellent, as the park has a high rate of greenery coverage.
