THE ASEF (Asia-Europe Foundation) has presented grants to three artists who participated in the fourth Shanghai Biennale. One of the winners, 32-year-old Yang Fudong, later described his work for the Biennale - a 17-minute-long video - as a "lukewarm" effort.
The video tells the story of an urban love affair.
Yang said he felt that the work, entitled "Flutter, Flutter, Jasmine, Jasmine", was not an extremely powerful or striking work. "Actually, I feel the work was rather lukewarm he said after receiving the award from a representative of ASEF, Kim Sung-chul. "It fits with the city's sentiment."
The award presentation ceremony concluded the fourth Shanghai Biennale. The other two artists to be awarded grants were Angela Bulloch from Britain, with an installation work, and Jong Yeon-doo from South Korea, with photography.
