But there is no need to regret this because it is precisely this vague middle ground that creates more creative freedom for artists. The two works of mine—<i>Mai Dang Lao </i>and <i>Kekou-Kele</i>—were produced under such cognition and background. My works may make people think about some serious issues of the moment, such as “modern consumerism,” “globalization,” etc., but in fact, if it only just gives you a small grin, I would also be very happy.\n</p>\n<p>\n\tNow, please turn your eyes from this label to the whole installation and examine the objects, which range from Western Zhou dynasty bronze to Ming dynasty-style blue-and-white floral porcelain to modern art by American pop art masters. I believe that after the survey, you will have your own understanding of my two works.\n</p>\n<p><b>\n\tZhang Hongtu</b>, Artist\n</p>","remarks":"ORI_06_WLA.pdf - Day 1 Installation.
