| Zhang Huan's often traumatic performances are memory retrievals,
recollections of suffering. For example, his 1994 performance in a public toilet in an impoverished area of Beijing referred to the abortions and female infanticides that occurred under the Chinese government's one child policy. The artist covered himself with honey and fish oil, sat motionless for several hours attracting flies and ants before emerging himself in a nearby river. Huan's group performances, involving nine or more people, use logic to defy logic and culminate in rigid formations: a pyramid of naked bodies, people standing motionless in water, figures face down on the ground. While paralleling the rigidity and alienating effects of social structures, these formations give further expression to the trauma of the collective. The result of great shock and suffering manifests itself in intense physical and emotional pain, both individual - Zhang Huan's personal and family history - and collective - a nation emerging from the brutality of the Cultural Revolution, famine, political repression, ideological zeal, and the hardship of everyday life in China. Zhang Huan is acclaimed as one of the foremost artist of the new wave from China. Zhang Huan was born in 1965, 3 January, in An Yang City, He Nan Province, China. 1991-1993: Graduate from the Central Academy of Fine Arts,Beijing. 1984-1988:Graduate from the Art Department, He Nan University, Kai Feng and Beguiling. 1988-1991: Instructor, Art Department, He Nan University, Kay Feng. |
