'THERE ARE NO LIMITS IN THE FIELD OF ART, IF ONLY THERE ARE NO LIMITS IN YOUR MIND. HISTORY CAN BE BORROWED, ALTERED & RE-IMAGINED BY ONESELF... DURING THE PROCESS OF MAKING ART, WHAT I TRY TO EXPERIENCE IS EXISTENCE, BODY & REALITY. I HATE THE 'PERFORMATIVE ASPECT' IN THE WORKS.' / EXCERPT FROM ZHANG HUAN INTERVIEW IN SOME/THINGS MAGAZINE ISSUE001 / SHEDDING SNATCHES OF SONG LIKE PETALS

ALL POLITICAL EVENTS ARE EASILY FORGOTTEN, INASMUCH AS POLITICS IS ALWAYS TEMPORARY. SITUATIONS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING; THEREFORE, PEOPLE FORGET THE OLD TO MAKE ROOM FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT POLITICS, IT IS AS IF WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ART. IN THE SAME WAY, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ART, WE ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT POLITICS AT THE SAME TIME. BUT ART IS NOT POLITICS; IT TRIES TO STAND UP AGAINST THE COURSE OF TIME & TO ALLOW SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED NOT TO BE KEPT TO STAY THERE / HUANG YONG PING
NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ARE EXTREMELY HONORED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FEATURE HUANG YONG PING (黄永砯), ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENCIAL CHINESE CONCEPTUAL ARTISTS, IN ISSUE002.
