Growing up in a small mountain town overlooking the Yangtze river in Sichuan, Tao Hui was surrounded by verbal transmissions of folklore and tales of bizarre happenings that befell his neighbors and friends. A collector of such stories and a natural raconteur, Tao Hui's anecdotes are absurd, thrilling, and full of imagination, absorbing local culture and custom. On the occasion of his exhibition "New Directions: Tao Hui," UCCA has invited the artist to share with our members the stories he has been collecting for several years.
