The Line that Divides Us, is the Line that Connects Us.

分隔我们的线条，也将我们相连在一起。

Let’s Build a Wall that Unites Us, rather than Separates Us.

让我们一起构建一面墙，不为分离，而为重聚。

New York - Fou Gallery sincerely invite you to visit us to join our New Year Wishing Day on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2021!

Looking back at the turbulence in 2020, we panicked during the epidemic, reflected on our inner world in isolation, protested on the street, and expressed our opinions on the Internet. We’ve gradually adapted to the current situation of the global epidemic, and also ponder on the future of mankind. For a lot of us, our frequent international travels have been replaced by a monotonous route between our home and the grocery store. Pi Ji Tai Lai (Out of the Depth of Misfortune Comes Bliss) is a collective wish from all the artists and staff of Fou Gallery to our community and the world. We hope that everyone can obtain some refreshing perspectives on their lives from the world of art and set a New Year Goal to look forward to the future.

Saturday February 13, 2021 is the second day of Xinchou—Year of Ox—in Chinese lunar calendar. It encourages sacrificial ceremonies, rituals of making New Year wishes, and social events. Fou Gallery sincerely invites you to participate in our New Year Event, in conjunction with our current exhibition Anne Muntges: The Glowing Desert.

By drawing countless lines, Muntges recreates portions of the daily environments she inhabits and blends sensations between two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds. In Fou Gallery, she builds an interactive black and white world that functions as a living and breathing drawing. For Chinese Lunar New Year, Muntges designs special wall tiles with hand drawn black borders, inviting audiences from all over the world to write down New Year wishes and build a wishing wall together. The artist will be present to communicate with visitors.

The event is registered by appointment only to maintain social distance. Only 8 visitors are allowed every hour. Masks and shoe covers are required to enter the gallery.

纽约 - 否画廊诚挚邀请您至画廊参加将于2021年2月13日农历初二举办的新春祈福许愿活动！

新春发愿，其福胜彼。回顾动荡起伏的2020年，我们在疫情中恐慌，在隔离中沉思，在大街上游行抗议，也在网络上各抒己见，逐渐适应全球疫情的现状，也关注科技发展对人类未来的影响。以往日程表上频繁的国际旅行航线，变成了家到杂货店单调的两点一线。否极泰来，是来自否画廊全体艺术家和工作人员，对否的大家庭，以及对世界的祝愿，希望大家能在艺术构建的精神世界里浴火重生，重新发愿，确定前行的目标。

 2021年2月13日（周六），正值农历辛丑年孟春正月初二，宜祈福，祭祀，开市，访友。否画廊与目前在展的艺术家安妮·蒙格斯合作，特别设计新春祈愿活动。蒙格斯通过绘制线条模糊了二维与三维世界之间感知的界限，将画廊中的日常场景变成一个场地特域的黑白世界，成为生活着和呼吸着的绘画。蒙格斯特别制作了一系列黑色边框的墙砖，邀请来自世界各地的观众书写新年祝愿，一起构建一面许愿墙。艺术家会在现场与来宾交流。

 因新冠疫情的安全政策，活动采取预约制，保证每小时画廊空间人数在8人以下。访客需要戴口罩和鞋套方可入内。画廊会在门口提供鞋套和口罩。

If you can not attend the event in person, you can also submit your wish below. We’ll write it down for you, put your wish onto the wall, and send you a photo of it.

如果您无法至现场参加活动，也可以通过以下表格提交您的愿望。我们会帮您书写并贴上许愿墙，并发送您一张许愿墙的照片。
