Wang Luyan now does bicycle installations. At a show in Australia, he set up a bicycle shop. |
Every purchase of a work includes documentation on the bicycle. |
Gu Dexin fashions complicated installations of rotten, dried meat and fruits. Installation of apples and bananas in Holland. They are consumed, or eventually rot. |
Chen Shaoping now does video. His works in-progress have given up the rationality of measurement for a visceral, personal involvement in the images he creates. |
