Tenth anniversary exhibitions

Cc Foundation tenth anniversary exhibitions: Cc Foundation celebrates its tenth anniversary with four exhibitions opening on November 12, 2025. For the past decade, the Shanghai-based non-profit has championed cross-cultural dialogue and advanced diversity, inclusivity, and cultural equality on a global scale..

Huma Bhabha
November 12, 2025–April 5, 2026

The eponymous exhibition marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in China, presenting six sculptures, two painted photographs, and 18 prints. For over 30 years, Bhabha has forged a distinctive figurative language that bridges art history and urgent contemporary issues. Her humanoid sculptures—crafted from cork, styrofoam, bone, and found objects—collapse time, evoking ancient forms while gesturing toward uncertain futures.

Together with her large-scale layered portraits and seminal print series “Reconstructions” (2007), her work conjures memory, myth, violence, displacement, and survival. Through bold material experimentation and complex narratives, Bhabha delivers haunting reflections on resilience and the fragility of the human condition that resonate profoundly today.

Jason Fox: Antiheroes
November 12, 2025–April 5, 2026

Antiheroes marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in China, presenting six recent paintings.

Fox’s work fuses fractured identities with pop-cultural iconography, drawing on figures ranging from Bob Marley and Joni Mitchell to his own dogs and imagined creatures. Sourced from internet imagery and art history, his translucent, layered forms merge into composite bodies where individuality dissolves. Influenced by horror and sci-fi cinema, comics, counter-culture in the 1960s, and painters from Picasso to Kippenberger, Fox recasts the human figure as a site of rebellion, distortion, and satire—rejecting purity and transforming cultural icons into false prophets in a collapsing world order.

Oototol: Luar Negery
November 12, 2025–April 5, 2026

The phrase Luar Negery—a misspelled Indonesian phrase meaning “overseas”—often appears below self-taught Balinese artist Oototol’s (?–2008?) signature, and conveys his boundary-crossing spirit. In the final decades of his life, working with Chinese ink, bamboo pens, and brushes, he sketched scenes of soldiers, animals, and daily life that appear playful yet hold a deep unease.

Drawing on traditional Balinese painting, wayang puppet theater, and centuries of Indian, Chinese, and European exchange, Oototol’s works echo—and subvert—the exoticizing gaze of colonial tropical landscapes. Motifs are doubled, distorted, and reversed, producing witty compositions that resist narrative and unsettle the image of Bali as a timeless paradise.

 Oototol painted on canvases laid on the ground, and some of his artworks bear creases and marks from this. Symbolically, they also carry the imprint of colonialism, occupation, revolution, and dictatorship, revealing the fragile line between joy and suffering under modernity’s violent flux. More than naïve charm, his paintings illuminate Southeast Asia’s cultural pluralism, which challenges Eurocentric art histories and expands the very definition of modernism.

Anri Sala: If and Only If
November 12, 2025–February 8, 2026

Anri Sala’s If and Only If (2018), based on Igor Stravinsky’s Elegy for Solo Viola (1944), unfolds as both performance and journey. A garden snail slowly ascends the viola bow, compelling violist Gérard Caussé to adapt tempo and phrasing, transforming the music into a duet with the creature

Shot in cinemascope, the film follows the snail’s deliberate climb, blending Stravinsky’s mournful score with moments of interruption—such as a second snail—highlighting both the constructed nature of the work and the tension between presence and perception.

Through this interplay of performance, image, and chance, Sala reimagines the elegy as a meditation on fragility, collaboration, and mortality, honoring both a departed violinist and the enduring wisdom of the elderly.
