Le Xi 奚乐 Studio Launches Experimental Art Column on Chongqing Metro Line 6

On March 4, 2014, Le Xi Studio launched a collaborative project with Chongqing Pufan Art Space—the Experimental Art Column on Metro Line 6. Rooted in public interest and international perspective, the project aims to expand the boundaries of contemporary art in public space.

This column showcases a wide range of works—2D, 3D, static, and moving—that challenge traditional art forms. It embraces the belief that “concept outweighs technique—concept itself is art,” and promotes the idea that “everyone can participate; everyone is an artist.” Public imagination and participation are not just components of expression, but the very soul of contemporary art.

Our goal is to integrate art into everyday life and to transform life into an artistic experience. Diverse experiences are redefined through artistic expression—without a single value system or aesthetic standard, but instead through difference that brings beauty and hope. This experimental column is a vital part of urban culture and serves as a concrete practice connecting personal imagination with the spirit of the times.
