<p>Photo by Shang Zheng</p> <p>Whenever I have the opportunity to go to a different country, I will bring my installation work "Century Text" to the national art museum, historical Monuments, or war memorials, and put my works with the objects I found interesting. I myself also have a meditation for about 30 Minutes. This performance art is about a dialogue between "East and West", "Ancient and Modern" in my mind, with the works, and with action. It further expands the connotation of the concept of installation works, so that installation works have a new life.</p> <p>Photo by Shang Zheng</p> <p>My installation works is mainly using newspaper as the main material. By rubbing, rolling, and knitting into the style of ancient Chinese bamboo roll "book". A total of 1,500 rolls have been made one after another. This form also has a name called "Century Text". The bamboo "book"s have been the earliest books in Chinese history for about three thousand years. Before the moving block printing method was invented in China, people carved the characters on these bamboo sticks to record history and culture. Today, ancient bamboo roll "books" can be seen in the National Museum of China, and its beautiful visual image has aroused my great interest.</p><p>The Newspapers I used were from all over the world, which had huge information covering politics, economy, humanities, geography, etc. I put all these contents into my installation artworks, making them a special way of being, a history book produced by me.</p> <p>纽约哈德逊艺术中心</p><p>常年接待中国艺术家参加国际驻访项目：</p><p>因为2020年疫情的影响，艺术家们无法正常参加春夏季节的国际驻访项目及其他国际艺术活动，但是秋季和冬季的项目会正常进行，欢迎艺术家们及早准备和申请报名。</p><p>www.hudsoncenterforcontemporaryarts.com</p><p>zhengxuewu@hotmail.com /</p><p>hudsoncenter@163.com</p>
