SITE / PROBLEM- A Case of Jin Feng Presented by: Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art

Dates: 29 November - 28 December, 2008
Venue: Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art (No. 28, Lane 199, Fangdian Road, Shanghai, China)
Opening Reception: 4:30pm, 29 November, 2008 (Saturday)


Site / Problem-A Case of Jin Feng, solo exhibition of Jin Feng will be presented at Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art on 29 November, 2008. Based upon his recent artistic exploration, the exhibition features performance, research projects, sculpture installations and web interaction, aiming to present a complete overview of Jin"s works in recent years. Jin Feng has made great efforts to integrate various sites in Chinese society into his creation, managing to liberate himself from the constraints of traditional creation modes. Dedicated to establishing a platform for artists to share ideas, Jin has proposed an idea of "focusing on the choices made and the transformation caused rather than the proposal of original themes". Whether this can be introduced as a future mode in exploring the problems of sites in Chinese society is a major theme of the exhibition. Moreover, Jin Feng refers to his work as "case", intending to avoid any possible association of hegemony which might be provoked by the usage of "methodology". Actually, it is the insights and inspiration gained and debates provoked from Jin Feng"s solo exhibition that are most worth anticipating.

A project of a living statue.

conceptual work: "Your soul is mine" was aiming to the CEO, Li Jie, of the moon embassy.

Jin Feng downloaded the "United Nations Charter", and made a book out of it, he then covered all the characters only leaving: "your soul is mine".
The reason why this is work aims to Li Jie is: you are the artist on my mind.

When the work was presented in Beijing, there was a ceremony for this gift, Li Jie refused this work by Jin Feng, and wrote on it why he didn't want it. However to keep a good relationship, Li Jie gave him a certificate of a nomination of 'Master of Clouds'. Jin Feng accepted it, the reason was: this certification complete this work perfectly.
