“Phoenix Project” Unveiled in Beijing
Events include outdoor installation, document exhibition, catalogue and series of scholarly lectures…
Xu Bing Studio is pleased to announce the inaugural public exhibition of Xu Bing’s towering Phoenix Project at the Today Art Museum, Beijing.
Consisting of two 28 meter long birds pieced together from construction debris gathered at the site of the new Beijing World Financial Center and weighing 12 tons, the Phoenix Project will be on display, suspended from cranes in front of the Today Art Museum, from March 28th to April 6th, 2010. As the sun sets each night, small light emitting diodes embedded within the phoenixes will illuminate in a constellation like pattern.
In addition to the outdoor installation of Xu Bing’s phoenixes, The Today Art Museum will also host a document exhibition of sketches, reports and models providing insight into the artist’s creative process (March 28th to April 16th) and an exciting series of talks focused on the Phoenix Project (March 28th). Speakers include critically acclaimed director Jia Zhangke, renowned critic Li Tuo, President of The Central Academy of Fine Arts Pan Gongkai, poet Ouyang Jianghe, and the artist.
