Proposal: Nutritious Soil 方案：营养土
You-Shen WANG 王友身
Wang Youshen
This proposal consists of photographs and hand-written notes that indicate the arrangement of the exhibition “The Nutritious Soil”, which was held in Frankfurt, German in 1996. Nearly one ton of nutritious soil and some photographs of the artist’s father planting flowers were brought to the exhibition from China. The term “Nutritious Soil” refers to a type of highly-quality soil found in the Changbai mountains in Northeast China. The idea is that this soil “contains many nutrients and will enhance the natural environment in other places”. As it states in the proposal, “the nutritious soil and the coffee house are both nutritious to anyone who comes. Art is nutritious to people and people can give nutritious to art as well”.

Correspondence: Graham Marks' Letter to Ye Shuanggui
Shuang-Gui YE 叶双贵
Graham Marks
This letter is written by Graham Marks, an American ceramic artist, in Chinese. In this letter, he started by talking about New York's government's arbitrary decision on nuclear pollution disposal, which inspired Marks to do something that actually benefits the commons. Then, he mentioned his antipathy to the art markets in the U.S. He realized that he was simply making toys for the rich, which are collected in a similar way that hunters collect prey's skulls. As a result, he abandoned art and turned into learning Zhenjiu (Acupuncture). (Zhuocheng Jiang '26)
