Description
Published on the “China Art Weekly” in 1994, this article was written by Bi Long and about the third art activity that was showcased by the Big-Tail Elephant group on November 24th, 1992. It introduced the installation and action arts done by the three artists in the group respectively. They are “Five Hours” by Chen Shaoxiong, “The Allegory of Love” by Xu Tan, and “One Hundred Bricks and One Thousand Yuan” by Lin Yilin. Besides, the feedback of this art activity from the public was discussed by the author. By comparing it to the second exhibition of the art group, he concludes that “this art activity is a risky experiment”, because it challenges the viewer’s senses, and contains certain danger of electric shock in the installation.
