Title: Farmer Du Wenda's Flying Saucer
Du Wenda, a
farmer from Anhui Province of China, spent several years in earnest building a
flying saucer with local farmers that made national news. The artists invited
the creator of the primitive flying object, which has never flown, to assemble
and test fly his work in Venice. The differing motives behind the artists' and
the farmer's desire for the test to succeed made their collaboration complex,
codependent and contentious, and this dynamic became integral to the artwork.
Farmer Du Wenda's Flying Saucer is a dramatic experiment that parallels the
unknowns in China's open future.

Title: Shout
Xu Zhen's Shout is a multi-channel video
installation depicting a fleeting intervention in the cosmopolitan public
domain. Video footage of 40 sites in Shanghai depict a sudden scream by an
unknown party that halting strangers on the street as they turn towards a hidden
camera to ascertain the source . Shout explores the instinctive and universal
human response to the unexpected, and acts- as the first work encountered upon
entering the China pavilion-as an awakening.
