Description
In this performance art (also as installation), CHEN Shaoxiong sets up several three-layered plastic coat in an interior, each extends from (about) the floor to the ceiling. He covers the floor with white cloth as a protection from pigment. In the course of seven days, CHEN ShaoxXiong applies black paint to the plastic coats he planned for each day and labels the work he does each day. This work communicates CHEN ShaoXiong's concept of "dividing time" (艺术人文,陈劭雄丨存在的虚无与生命的短暂,TrueArt, 2016, Available on https://www.trueart.com/news/333194.html). (Jerry Wu'23).
