Proposal Art: Kala Chorus 卡拉大合唱
Shuang-Gui YE 叶双贵
This proposal art manifests the artist's concern for human-nature relations. The idea is that five robots will imitate humans to urinate in the pond where fish, shrimp, and ducks live. Animals will be agonized by the toxic water and beat the water. The sound of beating water will trigger robots to chorus "Tomorrow will be better" in different languages. At the end, animals will die in the toxic environment, which creates an ironic contrast between the chorus and the fact that animals are dying. (Zhuocheng Jiang '26)

This essay, titled "A Brief Discussion on Recent Action Art in Mainland China, by Li Xianting, a celebrated art critic, published on "Ming Pao Monthly," Hong Kong, 1995, issue 11, introduces the origin and main features of Contemporary Chinese Art in mainland China, including important events like the "China/Avant-Garde" exhibition in Beijing in 1989.

"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.
