In Artforum China online diary Ran Huang wrote: “This year, as a part of Zoo Art Fair, <FormContent> rather than displaying physical artworks, employed performances to question the state of contemporary art. The performances both revealed an active cooperation with the system but, to a certain extent, also subverted its strategies.” “FormContent has been busy with the relocation in the new space (…) The private view on November 27th attracted a lot of people. The programme of exhibitions is dynamic, that was the first part of three stages (…) Each step appears like a piece of filtration equipment; the left over text from the previous cycle can be challenged and replaced by the following one”. (Translated into English by Rebecca Valli)
