Jiu Soceity
Artist
Chinese name: Jiu
Pinyin: jiū
Definition: describes sound, including light sounds of animals, also could describe sounds of insects and birds.
Refer to: kiss. The word 「ちゅう」means the sound when kissing in Japanese. So “jiu” also means kissing.
Jiu is not close with Li Lei and Han Meimei, but is good friends with Peter, Ann, Sue and Ken. They are the experimental products of Reform and Opening, and also sons of dispersed culture. In name of nonsensical hedonism, despite of occasional anxious and suspect, Jiu feels very good. So they tried to make themselves heard, by making uncertain and small sound, Jiu.
The group consists of three members, Fang Di, Ji Hao and Jin Haofan. The three young artists are all born and raised as a new generation of Shenzhen citizens in this immigrant city. Shenzhen to them, is not anymore what to their parents – a place to make money. They gather around Shenzhen, their own city, and by using their young perspective to reconsider and make themselves heard.
