The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has put everything in the world on hold in 2020 including events within art circles. How have artists viewed the past few months and what do they think of the future? The ongoing exhibition 2020+ at Beijing Red Brick Art Museum attempts to create a multi-dimensional space that answers these questions.

"2020 has already become a 'boundary marker' for us, and tangible and intangible words have become frozen in our eternal collective memories," said Yan Shijie, curator of the exhibition, which displays works from renowned artists like Olafur Eliasson, Huang Yongping, Rachel Rose and Anri Sala. 

Artist Tao Hui's Hello, Finale! consists of a series of nine videos arranged in an orderly array within the exhibition space that emphasize the intertextual and parallel relationships between the content of the work, while Hong Hao's Reborn, Receipt takes a large number of receipts, forms, contracts related to people's real lives and turns them over to use the blank side to display rubbings of various texts. 

The exhibition is set to run until October 18.
