\u201cWorldly Fate\u201d: He Yunchang Solo Exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Box Museum of Art <\/a><\/strong>(798 Art District Of No. B07, Jiuxianqiao Road, Road No. 2, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China.) Mar 22\u2013Apr 21, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those with strong stomachs and an interest in the continuation of Chinese performance art should see \u201cWorldly Fate\u201d\u2014the solo exhibition by He Yunchang currently on show at the White Box Museum of Art in 798. He Yunchang has for twenty years been using his own body as a medium; indeed, he is somewhat alone in persisting with aggressive physical acts carried out upon himself as a medium for expression (his contemporary Zhang Huan, for example, has long since turned to less body-orientated practice). The texts accompanying the show present He Yunchang\u2019s work in terms of \u201ca physical proclamation that reminds us of the burdens imposed on the physical body\u201d, and suggest that, for He\u2019s audience, this is \u201can occasion to fully abandon arrogant concepts of art.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what is a shockingly graphic show, in places, a selection of He\u2019s performance works are in evidence through photographs\u2014and small blood stains on the floor. The day before the opening, the artist assembled a group of ten naked women, and asked surgeons to make sixteen incisions in his body. The blood collected from the wound was then applied to their finger and toe nails like polish. This piece, \u201cThe Spring\u201d is characteristic of the determination, stamina, nakedness, drama and physical trauma seen across He\u2019s practice\u2014symptoms which amount to a repeated affirmation; in the words of the artist, interviewed in 2009: \u201cAfter a performance work is over, I always think that every second in life is more valuable than gold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
