Question: "Do the ideals of labour and craftmanship have any value in contemporary art today?"
*object as art
*art as object
Power Point presentation I will be presenting of my work at Biennale in Korea.
I will be working as a mentee with mentor Li Xiaofeng for month of Oct. in South Korea. A Beijing artist who creates porcelain clothing with shards of broken 'china' dating from Ming Dynasty. Working with 'memories' and repetition he breaks and conciously links shards together with silver wire, his collaboration with Lacoste has seen him produce elaborate clothing. Exhibiting extensively far afield the 'original' ware is not allowed to leave the country so he produces and paints his own pieces which he then deliberately breaks to create his wonders. Link to his work found opposite.
