Huang Yong Ping 黃永砅
Dust 灰塵
1987
In the 1980s, during the early years of growth of contemporary art in China, Huang Yong Ping carefully studied the conceptual practices of Marcel Duchamp and John Cage. In particular, he was interested in using found objects and chance to free the artist’s hand from the process of art-making. Instead of painting on a scroll, Huang let one rest on the floor in his studio in Xiamen. Over time, layers of dust gathered on the scroll’s surface. The unplanned accumulation of dust becomes as meaningful as an intentional composition.
