This is a "popular" music album that has won numerous praises from the planning and creation of the album, and to the producer and director of the popular "Liú xíng" concert tour. Li Yuchun once again pondered the grand issue of "pop". And exploration. From music to art, from the tour to the roadshow, Li Yuchun, as the most influential and popular symbol of contemporary China, once again created an epidemic with extraordinary transnational boundaries and breaks.

Li Yuchun's "Popular Lab" Makes "Popular" More Elements

At the end of last year, Li Yuchun released his 2017 album “Popular”, which was a great way to express his voice in the way of music. He completed a great speculation about “pop” and received numerous praises. Then, the 2018 “Pop” concert tour was launched. The powerful visual image and the live electronic band were combined to make the “pop” appear in the live space and the performance stage.

In recent days, a "popular" concept image initiated by Li Yuchun officially surfaced. In line with the previous "Pop" album and tour, but not only in the music field, the "Popular Lab" continued Li Yuchun's longstanding thinking about "pop" and also included her hope that the public will conduct the topic of "pop". The open discussion: "How does popular culture have a closer and far-reaching influence on people's lives? In this age of consumption, art can be used as a medium to enable the United States to become the consensus and awareness of the entire society." It can be seen that Li Yuchun’s thinking about “popularity” has already eluded the narrow entertainment industry and commercial consumption level, but it has evolved into a public issue concerning time, culture, and self. In the vision of Li Yuchun, the “Popular Lab” will initiate different experimental projects, invite people of different industries and expertise to discuss, think, explore, and co-build popular ideas that are contemporary, and use art to help the mass basic industry to consume. Upgrade to popularize the aesthetic revolution of daily life.

Li Yuchun brings 10 artists to create the most artistic "vegetable market"

The first public art project was launched as a "popular laboratory." The "Popular Lab's Vegetable Market" opened a brand new role beyond the status of Li Yuchun's entertainer - the "director system" of the public art project. This is Li Yuchun's efforts in the art field and her innovation and breakthrough in cross-border attempts.

In this curatorial public art project, Li Yuchun was made as a director. She chose to compare with Aaajiao, Gao Lei , Lu Gaodi, Guo Hongwei, He Xiangyu, Liu Jiayu, Xu Zhen, Yuan Keru, Justin Cheung, Lu Ping. The young Chinese generation is a representative of contemporary artists. In the creation of these artists, contemporary pop culture is an important clue. Compared with their predecessors, their creative methods are even more diversified, and there are even many deviant representatives. At the same time, they are closer to the psychological needs of young people in the current era. This is in contrast to the experience that Li Yuchun hopes the “pop lab” can bring to people. Seek cooperation.

Unlike other art exhibitions, the “Popular Lab's Vegetable Market” public art project did not select the traditional art gallery space, but will be unveiled at Shanghai’s most dynamic Xingye Taikoo Hui District, while participating artists will The “food market” is the theme of creation, so that topics that are closely related to people’s lives bring interesting and topical feelings to the project itself. When people are familiar with the market, the art market has become a space where art takes place. When eggs, bread, vegetables and fruits are intertwined with the sensory experience that people bring to the market, the expression of art subverts people’s experience with the food market and daily life. Such actions have broken the long-standing sense of distance and illusion of art, allowing the arts to have the right to be appreciated and experienced by the general public, thus also making the art truly popular.

From the "pop symbol" in the eyes of the masses to the end of "pop culture"

Since his debut in the 13th year, Li Yuchun has scored impressive achievements in the fields of music, film, fashion, and art. At the same time, in the thinking about the nature of her self, she never stopped the pace of innovation and exploration, and continued to complete Li Yuchun's self-iteration. Whether it is the “1987” dialogue with the “85 New Wave” artists or the collaboration with British independent avant-garde music label PC Music to explore the “possibility of popular formats as an artistic medium” and participation in The Fifth Sense Global Women’s Creativity Program , and vocalize in an art cooperation project named "Intangible Matter" ... Each new piece and voice evoked Li Yuchun's inner pioneering independent attitude, innovative spirit of change, and breaking the convention. The artistic pursuit.

She firmly believes: "The best pop is among those who dare to break the popular trend." Therefore, we constantly break new traditions through innovation and cross-border methods, draw on younger and fresher energy in different industries, and think about and discuss the content of "popularity." And extensions. This will be the first time that the public art project of “Popular Lab's Vegetable Market” participated in the planning stage with the artistic “master” system will create a brand-new model for the concert and art exhibition to be held simultaneously. It will also be another time for her to explore the “popular” border. "Broken hand" move.

“Art, must it be serious? Popular. Can there be more possibilities?” These questions about the future, seemingly unknown, will soon be presented in the “vegetable market” that Li Yuchun and the artists created together.
