"By ending their practices, and with Qian destroying all his work in 1995, awareness of these pioneering artists gradually faded, Lu says."
"The show will bring together the entire artistic output of New Measurement Group, including five dense publications explaining the collective's artistic methods."
"Locating works by New Measurement Group for the exhibition was challenging, as none of the group's members owned all their works."
"Gu Dexin attained a mythic status in Chinese art circles after he rejected an invitation to participate in the planning of a major retrospective of his work."
The exhibition 'Poetry Goes No Further Than Language' at Buxton Contemporary seeks to highlight early Chinese conceptual art, particularly the contributions of Qian Weikang and the New Measurement Group. After ceasing their artistic practices in the mid-1990s, awareness of their work diminished. The exhibition will showcase the complete output of the New Measurement Group and include new commissions inspired by their work. Gu Dexin, a prominent member, gained notoriety for rejecting a major retrospective invitation, further complicating the group's legacy.
