Proposal Art: Kala Chorus 卡拉大合唱, Shuang-Gui Ye 叶双贵
Proposal Art: Kala Chorus 卡拉大合唱, Shuang-Gui Ye 叶双贵
Zhou Documents
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)

The Unity Of Destruction And Construction, Wang Zhan 展望
The Unity Of Destruction And Construction, Wang Zhan 展望
Zhou Documents
Liu Xiaochun's critique, published on "Art Currents," issue 1, 1995, of the group show "Sculpture 1994" featured five sculptors. Zhan Wang was one of them. The authors discussed Zhan Wang's work " Temptation," made of clothes, linen and glue, and examined the aesthetics and philosophical thought contained within. The author considers this show as the result of the destruction and reconstruction of classical sculpture, which is then combined with Avant-Garde sculpture. In Zhan Wang’s case, the contorted garments embodies his classical sculpture education but the language he used, the message to convey, is reconstructed into Avant-Garde sculpture.

Zhou Documents
This letter is written by Gao Minglu, an art critic, in Chinese. In this letter, Gao provides his understanding on Ye's "Post-Ceramics". This concept roots from the history of ceramics, which is summarized by Gao as Function-Art-Function. In the postmodernist era, ceramic art is supposed to return to its function, since the thread of post-modernism is massive product and mass communication.
