'The Boundary of Thought' exhibits a series of installation works improvised during Hao Liu's artist residency with LIDO Art Center. Although he is Chinese, as an international student who has extensively studied abroad, he has subconsciously identified himself as a traveller upon his most recent return to China.  This sentiment was nearly the same when he left China three years ago to study art in France.  However, China is ultimately his home.  It is a fact that cannot be changed.  This series of his artworks therefore focuses on the question of what China is to him. 

With his art experience in France, this residency project in China not only made the artist face the differences between two regions, but also the boundaries between thoughts.  Especially within the context of increasing tensions between countries and contradictory international conflicts, this boundary has become more and more apparent.  In terms of foreign relations, the focus on international cooperation has gradually transformed into the cultural stimulus of a New Socialism in China. It seems as though the old generation's ideal society is drifting away along with classic socialist architectures.  In its place, society has welcomed in the magical scene of metropolitan cities.

The sculpture and installation works in this exhibition are created under the artist's personal nomadic perspective - to examine and express the memory of modern China and the overall impression of Chinese democracy.
