Wang Gongxin Erguotou Video Installation 2005

The latest work by Wang Gongxin entitled… "Erguotou! Old fellows, our beloved Erguotou. One sip courses through your entire body, gives you all the confidence you need. After a bottle…well, nothing in this world can scare you. Let me take advantage of our drinking to tell you a little joke…"

Wang Peng Movement Installation 2005

The base of the piece is provided by a motorised tricycle, a ubiquitous mode of cheap transportation for goods and people in China. Its exhaust fumes channelled to and trapped by a tall glass house on its back to be slowly dissipated by a small opening at the top.

Wang has produced a potent symbol of the contradictions plaguing China, capturing in a simple set-up the logical and emotional flux within the dynamics of the urban zeitgeist.
