SUMMARY:Zhang Dali's Latest Work 'Wind/Horse/Flag'
DESCRIPTION: Wind/Horse/Flag --on Zhang Dali's Latest Work Opening: 3p
	m\, Aug. 2 (Saturday) Opening hours: 10:00 – 18:00 (Except Monday) Cur
	ator: Feng Boyi Zhang Dali's new series\, Wind/Horse/Flag\, continued 
	his use of migrant workers' bodies as subject matter\, but differs fro
	m previous works that used materials such as plaster\, fiberglass\, an
	d pigskin jelly. This time he uses silicon\, real human hair\, and clo
	thes that look like they came straight from construction sites or belo
	ng to travel-worn workers on their way home. The visual effect is not 
	unlike walking into a wax museum! He purposely chooses a rather trifli
	ng aspect of life\, but through the process of reproduction bluntly re
	presents real life. At the same time\, he captures pain and suffering 
	that exists in history and reality\, as well as yearning for freedom. 
	Furthermore\, history in Zhang's mode of discourse only reveals itself
	 in flashes of its shadowy silhouette. That silhouette now exists with
	 a new spirit\, the effect of having been transformed by the visual la
	nguage of Zhang's installations. A viewer will ask if he is seeing the
	 allegory of the horse or the allegory told by the horse. As a portray
	al of the present\, the allegory actually represents history in its or
	iginal form. When narrating the allegory\, Zhang does not turn a hair 
	or make the slightest fuss when targeting present-day evils. Instead\,
	 he expresses hope and lets the viewer tremble with fear. \n
