Zhang Huan is one of China's best-known performance and conceptual artists. In the 1990s, he attracted notoriety and the government's censorship for his unsettling works, which involved subjecting his naked body to pain or torturous circumstances. After he moved to New York in 1998, he walked down the street with slabs of raw meat tied to his body creating the image of a giant walking piece of meat. For his solo show at the UCCA, Zhang exhibit remains of the train which crashed during the 5.12 Earthquake in Sichuan and stretch it over the whole exhibition space. “This exhibition is a way of showing the victims of the Sichuan earthquake that they haven’t been forgotten. It’s a curated social project, an artist and an institution working together to help solve a problem. Art isn’t about making pretty things, putting on spectacles and not showing any concern…it has to give something back” explains UCCA Director, Jérôme Sans.
