From December 23, 2022 to April 9, 2023, UCCA presents presents Geof Oppenheimer’s first solo exhibition in China, “People in Reverse.” Featuring three cast metal sculptures within an immersive, theatrically-charged environment composed of building materials, found objects, photographs, and more, the exhibition examines the roles that figuration, symbolism, and character play in the modern social economy.

In conjunction with the exhibition, UCCA produced a bilingual publication that is both an exhibition catalogue and an artist book. The publication’s format and design are a collaboration between Oppenheimer and his longstanding collaborator, designer David Khan-Giordano. The book combines extensive exhibition documentation with in-depth essays by UCCA Director Philip Tinari, University of Virginia professor of art history David J. Getsy, and theater director Zhao Chuan. In addition, it features a specially curated selection of photographs that informed and inspired this series of works, printed in duotone color.
