Chinese Pagoda
Studio Job created the Pagoda, in their continuous style of transcending boundaries between art, architecture and design.
The participating artists provided new proposals specically for the exhibition in Wuzhen 2016; with some artists commissioning local workers to assemble site-specic works, thus adding to them a avour of Wuzhen, one of China’s ten most important historic riverside towns.
Due to dierences in culture, gender, and social background, artists chose dierent focal points. Their understandings of the theme and their own technical backgrounds helped make abstract international and contemporary art more specic and visual.
The installation features a small scale model coming out of a white case in front of the full scale one that features a Swarovski crystal globe hanging in the middle with over a million hand placed crystals.
The exhibition totalled 130 works, from such artists as Marina Abramovic, Olafur Eliasson and Ai Weiwei in a wide range of media such as installation, performance, sculpture, sound, video, and animation.
