Description
Jiang Jiantao wrote this essay about Zhan Wang in Chinese, published in "Art Research," issue 1, 1995, and an English translation as included in the document. The author discusses Zhan Wang's "Kong Ling· Kong" (literally mean "ethereal: void") exhibition, held from May 19th to May 23rd, 1994, at the Central Academy of Fine Arts Museum. The author begins to illustrate the structure of the show. The artists created eighteen pieces of floating clothes, which appear being worn but the bodies are absent. The author emphasized the exhibition's significance in terms of modern human life. Then it was discussed how the artist is inspired by different artists, from a variety of time periods and cultures, and how the artist injects his own artistic language and aspiration into his works.
