Burn After Reading: The Transdualistic Resistance of Big Tail Elephants

Volume 18, Number 2, March/April 2019
by Nikita Yingqian Cai


Article Description

Nikita Yingqian Cai's essay on the transdualistic resistance of Big Tail Elephants, asserting that the artist group's interrogation, far from being confined to the temporal axis of the 1990s or the spatial boundaries of Guangdong province, in fact arose from a nascent critique of the universal, modernist faith in economic development as a necessary means for social progress.
