The kind of measurements the group had in mind. The artists applied grids to images, and regraphed them according to certain formulas. They disbanded when their formulas no longer excited their interest. |
|
|
Wang Luyan now does bicycle installations. At a show in Australia, he set up a bicycle shop. |
| Every purchase of a work includes documentation on the bicycle. |
|
|
Gu Dexin fashions complicated installations of rotten, dried meat and fruits.
Installation of apples and bananas in Holland. They are consumed, or eventually rot.
|
| Chen Shaoping now does video. His works in-progress have given up the rationality of measurement for a visceral, personal involvement in the images he creates. |
