Grenzgänger zwischen Ost und West; Halle im Papierkleid; Letzte Kunstausstellung in der Halle 10 der Reinhardtkaserne; Yin und Yang

Gong-Xin WANG 王功新

In August, 1995, Wang Gongxin presented his work, “Biao,” in Hall No. 10, a non-profit art center in Stuttgart, Germany. This venue, commonly used for solo art exhibitions, has a unique historical background. Following World War II and into the cold war, this space served as a garage for United States military vehicles. The many exhibitions that take place in this hall all must have some relation to space itself in one way or another. Following each exhibition, the space has to be restored. Wang Gongxin’s work, “Biao,” was created in this way. “Biao,” the title of his work takes on double meanings. The first, derived from the character 裱 (biao) refers to the mounting of ink paintings. The other, derived from the character 表 (biao), literally “a watch” refers to time. In creating the work, Wang “mounted” the entire 500 square meter space with “xuan” paper, using a paste made from flour and water as adhesive, as a worker of painting mounting works. This took him more than a month to complete. On the original floor, there were ten parking spots, defined by painted lines. After taking photographs of the ten numbered spaces, he set them in iron trays in their respective places. In each tray, he covered the photographs with developing fluid and hung a red light above each. As the photographs developed from the opening day of the exhibition to the last, they gradually reddened. (Russ, Hannah '18)
"Bird Trap" design sketch "捕鸟器"设计草图

Wang ZHAN 展望

ZHAN Wang

The inspiration of "Bird Trap" is from the artist's childhood experience of bird catching. Instead of bird food, ZHAN Wang put books about Ornithology that symbolizes “culture” underneath the bird trap. According to the artist, “culture” brings humans wisdom and emotions, but it is also a metaphysical deception. A bird was placed on the other side of the string outside of the trap, where a person is supposedly at. The angle between the bird trap and the ground was intentionally designed to be 45-degrees, which creates a sense of balance that neither humans nor animals can break through.
