Yve YANG is pleased to announce the inaugural exhibition of artist David OReilly in Shanghai, a collaboration with Art World to present the exhibition in the venue of 0 Art Space. There will be a live performance by the artist at the opening in the afternoon of November 6th. The exhibition will be on view until November 25th.

Born in Ireland and currently living and working in Tokyo, Japan, OReilly is an active artist in animation and games who created the groundbreaking animated films Please Say Something and The External World. He has served as screenwriter for animations as Adventure Time and South Park, as well as producer of Alien Child in Spike Jonze’s Oscar-winning film Her.

OReilly’s animation and game productions have won numerous awards including Prix Ars Electronica and the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at Berlin International Film Festival. Among them, the game trailer of Everything was nominated for the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film at the Berlin Film Festival in 2017. As the only game piece in history that was ever shortlisted for film festivals, it also became the first interactive work to qualify for the Academy Awards. In addition, OReilly also participated in several exhibitions and screenings such as the David Lynch Foundation, the Pompidou Center, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Shenzhen Animation Biennale.


This Year, OReilly created Eye of the Dream as a commissioned work for Berlin Art Week. This immersive audiovisual installation intends to present the process of life from the Big Bang to the modern world through the act of dancing: Everything is a member of this choreographed dance, spontaneously arranged in a certain paradigm, interfacing with everything surrounded and compromising during this individual action. In addition to Eye of the Dream and its game Everything, this Shanghai exhibition will also present the artist’s animated short film Octocat Adventures and a new film inspired by it, Octocat Story, as well as a special version of the game Mountain and three new video works based on this game.
