Description
This is a series of interviews, published on the "Han Mo Art News," Hong Kong, issue 1, 1994, on the "Sculpture 1994" exhibition,held at the Central Academy of Fine Arts Museum , featured Zhan Wang, Sui Jianguo, Fu Zhongwang, Zhang Yongjian, and Jiang Jie. The interviews discuss the motivation and methodology of artmaking, subjects include Chinese identity which is the primary motivation for many of them,and the contrasts between classical and modern sculpture, etc. Artists expressed their desire to develop Chinese sculpture's independence, and worried about the art market because the first party who requests a sculpture expects aesthetic works but there is no self-expression in doing such sculpture proposed by the government. Zhan Wang is concerned with identity issues, reflecting on his works, in addition to complex relation between sculpture tradition and self-expression. (Zhuocheng Jiang '26)
