Movement is initiated in Nanjing by Hua Mao First Floor, which has been active in the recent years. The movement itself is healthy and progressive, and its self-restraint can only have one purpose ——to outbreak more intensely. Will this exhibition explore the creative mind and bring out the fun in everyday life? Beginning on the 12th of this month, let us all come together to witness  20 days of youth passion, humbleness and youth dignity which has being incorporated in this program.

Movement, in the physical sense, is based on the reference point of continuous variations in nature and our own possible interest.

There are limitations to the decision and tendency of individual actions. For instance, you can be away from your "location" and remain unchanged, which can clearly be stated as a manner or an approach. We took a specific action to interpret the abstract concept of this exhibition. Three years ago,  Hua Mao First Floor members completed "displacement", seemingly being “transgression”, with a picked up key. But it did not cause any adverse consequences. The “transgression” could be a meaningless behavior which did not produce any positive or negative. In the exhibition, the operation will be performed by another group of actors. After three years, the "line" is coming up with a new topic: the mutual penetration between fact and fiction. "Movement" here is a misappropriation of significance, also a practice between reality and surreality.

– Hua Mao First Floor

People’s impression on movement is always its uncertainty and unsafety. But we have to move because the basic characteristic of living things is to move. Movement is eternal.

—Hua Mao First Floor.
