An object as hard and cold as stone can be endowed with spirit and thoughts.

Land of the Lustrous, a contemporary art exhibition now on at the UCCA Dune art museum in Beidaihe, in Hebei province, shows works that use stones or are inspired by the varied forms of stones, by which featured artists invite the audience to reflect on the status of human society and its relationship with nature.
