Description

In this work, HUANG Yan printed out some excerpts of his novel "To see the flower from fogs" on the exterior of envelops. He then shipped those self-produced, idiosyncratic, unauthorized (by the postal services in China) envelops to elsewhere in China. To engage artworks with Chinese posting service, HUANG Yan surveys the uniformity and regulation of the national posting office, along with other extendingly implied social systems (HUANG, Artwork Introduction: Chinese Traditional Medicine, available on ZHOU Document) (Jerry Wu'23).
