Compare and contrast White tone by Cai Guo Qiang and The Comedian by Maurizio Cattelan, the galleries were dotted with artworks that reflected the contemporary arts fixation on the body. A large, wall-sized sculpture by the artist Michael Elmgreen-Petersen, titled Wearing my leather mask, 2013, was hung in a room that opened onto a vast expanse of white wall. In the middle of the expanse, a pile of black leather shoes lay on the floor. The shoes were made from a pair of sandaled feet, a symbol of the ancient Chinese calling for the adoption of a more rugged stance. This gesture was echoed by a pair of boots and a pair of black boots, one of which had been cut off at the ankle, leaving only a pair of boots and a pair of sandaled feet, both of which had been taken from the same foot. The juxtaposition of these objects, with their physical similarity, and their symbolic importance, and the juxtaposition of the black leather and the white sandaled feet, with the black shoes and white boots, with the black boots and white boots, with the white boots and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the black boots and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the black boots and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the black boots and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots, with the sandaled shoes and the white boots.

In the end, the artists represented here were only a handful of the many artists, artists, and groups who have taken up the call of the social, political, and artistic action that has characterized China for decades. What this exhibition offered was a sense of the extent to which the country has been transformed by its status as a modern, global superpower. This was also true for the artists represented in the exhibition, which ranged from the countrys early-twentieth-century modernists (including Mao Zedong, who was born in 1928) to contemporary artists, from Kazuo Shiraga to the artists of the 1990s (Gao Guoxu, Gong Lijun, and Zheng Guoli), to a small group of young artists (including Zhu Guo-Qiang, Yu Fengyuan, and Liu Chun-yu) who have been active in China for decades. The show also offered a glimpse of the difficulties of bringing such a large group of artists and artists together under the new cultural law, as well as of the difficulties of engaging such a large group of people in a museum. The exhibition, curated by Liu Ying-Yuan, was, for the most part, about the artists and their work, about the exhibition and the show. It was also about the role of the museum and the public, and about the political, cultural, and historical context in which the artists live and work.The museum, however, was the subject of the exhibition. This was clear in the first section, which featured two works by the artists Zhang and Huang Shihuas, as well as two by Chen Guangyu. Zhangs photograph Untitled (Museums), 2006, shows a group of young men from his hometown of Lijiang, China, walking in a circle of a museum while a museum guard stands by.

The latter works is a satirical re-telling of the life and career of the late Chinese writer Liusheng Gong, who died in 1973 at the age of fifty-seven. The artist, who is known for his collaborations with musicians and performers, has spent much of the past decade collecting and exhibiting the writings of Gong, a major figure in the history of modern Chinese cinema. He was a fierce critic of the Communist regime and of the art establishment. In his latest project, The Comedian, 2006, Gong was asked to write a new script by the artist. On October 11, 2006, he wrote the first line of his new work: I am writing. . . . I am writing . . . I am writing. In the space of a few minutes, the entire production of The Comedian was performed by Gongs body. He was covered with tattoos, wearing an orange-and-black sweater and a white shirt, and was covered with his usual white socks. His voice was hoarse, and he seemed to be talking to himself. He spoke only a few words, but they were enough to reveal that he was speaking to a large audience. In this performance, Gongs voice was a voice that was different from that of the characters in the story. The voice was that of a writer, a producer, a performer, a character, and an actor. The voice was a voice that was also that of the artist, a writer, and a performer. The voice was a voice that was also that of the artist and the actor. The voice was that of the writer, a writer, and an actor. The voice was that of the artist and the actor. The voice was that of the artist and the actor. The voice was that of the artist and the actor. The voice was that of the writer, a writer, and an actor. The voice was that of the artist, an artist, and a performer.

In this context, the first work that one encountered was a video made in collaboration with Guo Qing and Pigeon in the late 1980s. It shows Guo being kicked and cuffed, and Pigeon playing with a crowbar. In the video, the artist is shown as a figure who is recognized as a comic, a kind of embodiment of the anti-art of the present. And yet, the video is about a long time ago, before the Internet, before the rise of social media, before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Guo Qing and Pigeon are not simply satirists but artists who were also active in the Chinese art scene of the 1980s, both of them with a distinctly political bent. They have been long associated with the first wave of young artists who, to the surprise of many, have been given a second life after their departure from the art scene. They are now the subject of a show that makes a case for their continued relevance, and for the coherence of their practice, in the twenty-first century.This is not the first time that the two artists have collaborated. In 2006, Guo Qing and Pigeon were the subject of a documentary film, Live from the State Cultural Academy, that was also included in the second half of the exhibition. In the twenty-second episode of the documentary, we see Guo Qing and Pigeon in a classroom. We see their faces as they attempt to learn the language of a foreign language, and they start to speak Chinese, but the students are not very interested. After a while, they start to understand, and begin to understand, their dialogues with Guo Qing and Pigeon. They see the work as a kind of live-action play, and they learn Chinese. They also learn about art, about artmaking, and about their own relationship to it.
