The Doubleness of Sight/Site: Xu Bing’s Phoenix as an Intended Public Art Project

Volume 17, Number 2, March/April 2018
by Junjie Jiang


Article Description

Junjie Jiang writes about Xu Bing, who, since the 1980s also has made an instrumental contribution to contemporary Chinese art. Her essay focuses on Xu Bing’s major public art project Phoenix, in which she addresses the tension between his dependence as an artist upon both capital and the labour of those who fabricated his artwork, as well as the workers whose labour also drives China's urban development.
