He Yunchang

   

As with most performance works, He Yun Chang's works are temporary, transient and fleeting in their presence. His awareness of this has led him to develop an unusually well considered approach to photographic and video documentation which becomes the permanent trace of the temporary work. This is the essential significance of the combined tours.

He Yun Chang's documentation work has been shown widely in China but rarely outside of that country and he has performed abroad only three times, twice in the USA, with both performances taking place within a short space of time from each other, and once in the UK, in Newcastle upon Tyne. This project will undoubtedly raise the profile of a major artist not previously exhibited in the UK. The combination of all of the elements of this project and the specific timing of all its aspects have been planned to attract the highest audience figures and maximise media attention.

Commentaire :
Avec une économie de moyens et des éléments très pauvres He Yunchang charge cette performance d'une tension emotionelle intense. C'est l'expression désespérée d'une communication impossible. Le mur de briques, la boue, le fil du téléphone coupé sont éloquents. Les dysfonctionnements malgré des moyens de communication modernes peuvent engendrer une solitude et un isolement extrême.
