One of the most important issue. But a lot of people play the China card, and positive response to China this special issue of the modern artist is one of the few. From 2001, Weng Fen's 2003 grasp the context of globalization brought about by China's rapid economic growth in the various social and psychological change and divide. Weng Fen's photography is always refreshing to have a nagging inner feeling, this feeling complicated way. because his work is always the context of modernity had a relatively isolated many traditional and modern, economic globalization and the Chinese way, urban consumer society and development topics such as densely entangled unbalanced, interwoven together, contain all directions, wake up deep in our consciousness closely with them related to the feeling of a fine nerve root, causing the inner struggle and we strongly emotional agitation, very badly. Weng Fen's work always gives us a role and can not isolate itself into the psychological projection experience. standing Weng Fen heavy psychological burden. the face of modern problems, in which the body can not be avoided we do have. But, compared to girls who figure thin, whether we will become more confused, more powerless?
Weng Fen apparently did not sit view from the clouds, but the constant introduction of new work, to work constantly to ask questions and constantly pursue solutions. In 2005 the new program had been established as early as the end of 2004, and known for the arts insiders. but because of a huge project, work until August 2005 before it was completed. Weng Fen spend thousands of lesser number of eggs and duck eggs, quail eggs to liquid whole egg shell, forming a length of 8 meters wide and 4 meters high 1 meter miniature sandbox city building. If the temporary high looking down, you can identify all the buildings were originally developed a complete model of the 50 yuan note patterns. This note was RMB green, pattern centered on behalf of workers, peasants, intellectuals, head of the three great sides. The social circulation of paper money is still present. RMB built up on the picture plane eggs egg shape, indistinct If the growth of RMB in building up the forest, the image under the conditions of globalization constituted a model for Chinese cities. Weng Fen is perilous in the Leiluan process, the work reported almost lost on several occasions. This experience, it seems to sense the way the performance of his political and economic ecology of a deep concern. the whole creation, he first experienced European and American pressure for yuan appreciation and the global debate. Up to July 21, 2005, the Chinese government to break the exchange rate ice, has long been pegging the renminbi to abandon the fixed exchange rate system for U.S. dollar, the appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar about two percentage points the world sensation. Weng Fen's art project appears to constitute a mutation in the international political and economic situation of the mysterious prophecy. those add up the eggs constantly, as if pre-demonstrated facts and appreciation of the yuan continued to appreciate the possibilities. Weng Fen will be placed on the appearance of urbanization, the symbolic patterns of RMB economic basis, the emphasis is undoubtedly the rise of modernity in China with international and domestic political and economic nature of ecological relevance, not deliberately rendering the expected appreciation of the renminbi. However, the vagaries of political and economic realities but for the artists to ask questions, discuss issues provides an excellent context. we all know, Leiluan chance of shaping the success of their work and psychological line of defense to test the potential risk of RMB appreciation? This is not confirmation. However, the more flexible exchange rate mechanism, suggesting that the art and the interaction between political and economic reality is not only possible, but very practical, and often with the exception of the emotional factors.
coincidence aside, and reality, fore the modern problems, showing him a consistent cultural insight. Since the 1990s, construction in progress has become the city's normal. Red lofty, vigorous city recycling movement into Chinese modernity of the most important representations of one. unprecedented scale demolition and development of many cities completely erase the historical memory and cultural special style, and shape the overall architectural style of many identical, no individual cities. modernization process of Chinese cities is already deep into every corner of society, every detail of city life, urban cultural features of every inch of the bone marrow. the city's rapid urbanization, so that all the mutations in people daily, quietly turn a blind eye to achieve in reality watch. a lot of subtle and small changes accumulate swiftly and swiftly changed the relative stability of Chinese society the original internal structure of uneven development, the wealth gap, social gap and other issues have surfaced. The status quo, used to watch TV in the surface of prosperity and peacefulness of the ordinary people that only at the last minute, he would believe that they already are living on the cusp of social transformation, I believe that many incidents are not running out overnight. In fact, the siren song of economic growth has long been covered, blocked the too many problems. Since the price is relatively stable over the years, touched many, many ordinary people become the interests of the demolition, the real break his normal life, a major emergency incidents. urban recycling the problems caused by the movement, people insight into social change unavoidable, but also aware of the development of objective facts and risks coexist. However, the artist is always sensitive to micro-renowned hair grasp the key issues, and often have extraordinary forward-looking. Weng Fen through glue together a stack of one, and establish a base in the works to form a miniature form of various city buildings. light, eggshell Zhuyuanyurun all, reflected the glow. various shell combinations are also exquisitely carved architectural style, cool, bright. All of the shell There is interest, this magnificent little device that works can be seen as Aldous. Huxley, to be taught . they are not after seven and a half hours of relaxation after a tiring work, there is ecstasy rations, games, unlimited sexual intercourse and stimulate the senses of the film for entertainment. So they have no resentment of their own situation, quite the contrary met. This is the novel repeatedly stressed the city, the city is almost exactly the same way of life. This type of cloning is to create a very rich culture of the human spirit to wither. Weng Fen's urban samples, which are extracted from the abstract nature, is undoubtedly a kind of standardization of urban development in developing countries a great allegory. optimistic outlook on development constitutes a warning. If we are still one-sided, unrestrained pursuit of urban expansion and development, and forget both tangible and intangible cultural asset protection, forget the balance of resources and environmental development, the mere revel in this expansion and development brought about by the so-called modernization, will become a and material aesthetic fervor. we all know, property inspection of all the rapid development of China's major cities is a major hot spots of society. As real estate continues to heat up, a large number of buyers, speculators, and there are a lot more motivated buyers who have shuttling between the various new properties, the face of eleven different styles, but always beautifully crafted miniature building sand table, or go to well-decorated showroom. Chujingshengqing and perfect their imagination, all based on living space and lifestyle of the future a dream. The same experience also generated in the exhibitions at the viewer from one to another, surrounded by sand table sand table, looking for the ideal and the future that filled their one specific space. Weng Fen deep understanding of the expansion process in the city visual experience in this reality, in everyday life, property inspection has become the pursuit of larger, more long-term interests of the social behavior and happiness. He modeled the style of construction sand table shape feeling warm, stimulate the imagination of the aesthetic and the inertia of the Quchi the possibility of misreading. Weng Fen's even with those urban planning exhibition hall of the new city has essentially different from the sand table. Those who 看楼 sandbox common, often exquisite handicrafts like the same, although the reality has to refer to specific objects, but one that come to extraordinary refined, with varying degrees of super-ordinary features. sandbox cohesion and highlights those that are going to be real estate, all the advantages of urban areas, while omitting a dash of defects and problems. In short, highly marketable, in line with the trend of consumer society. Thus, the viewer experiences the visual pleasure of the real-time transmission is often a pleasure to imagine, while the collective imagination and enhance their quality of life in the pursuit of higher, encouraged by their enthusiasm for more ahead of the consumer. Weng Fen sports, green belts, artificial lakes, amusement parks, viaducts and so on. However, the shell shape of the urban people both familiar and strange. It bore a striking resemblance of high economic growth we had visited any Chinese city, but are does not. all building props come from the shape of Weng Fen, respectively, on the memory of sampling in different cities and remodeling.'s viewers used to seeing sand table in experience to be awakened at the same time, may have an inner sense of saw it. their unlimited expansion of the desire for consumption in the big sand table actually rootless. After all, the sand table with detached way beyond the reality of people's daily experience. However, when viewers watch the work in depth, a kind of worry has quietly appeared, people in the community the pursuit of security in transition, where actually no place to settle. It pursued urban life and better accommodation, had been intended to obtain a social status, economic conditions and quality of life of the most effective protection. However, The symbol of a city that people simply can not publicize their imagination, as any drop of psychological projection is not reality. eggshell characteristics of weak and fragile with a parable about the characteristics of the bubble economy, which is generally the pursuit of good wishful thinking spirit who has a strong hint. Our high-rise buildings where the city is a solid? or, where our happiness is to have a solid economic base? This is every face . Weng Fen's shock for the human mind. Since the profit and avoid loss is human nature, then, can we really know how to respect nature and the environment, follow the balanced development, sustainable development and even long-term development of the rules? Artificial light show, no doubt the pleasure principle warns immersed in the game and the desire of people. Wengfen Li painstaking created by the crisis-ridden shell of the . can imagine, if we are not in urban planning and development to make an emergency adjustment as soon as possible, change the status quo, to prepare plans, might actually collapse the day will come. the development of the conflict, once again, into the city's inner conflict, suggesting that the crisis of modernity under the collective unconscious of a fragile and false.
experiment is the vitality of contemporary art. another laboratory produced. This looks like a child building blocks of the game works, but concise, showing the unique perspective of artists and cultural reflection of the attitude of silence. Since the problem of modernity is in a sense, many economic, social, cultural, source of the problem, then, Weng Fen face the problem of the courage of Chinese modernity, is a representative of intellectual involvement in the world, the reality of social criticism in time for the position. This position is in today's art circles, in fact, been few and far out .
