Xu Bing (Lecture Questions)


Book from the Sky 天书
1987-1991



Question 1


From what I know of Xu Bing's work, I have gathered the concept of communication and the written word are subjects which the artist has explored. To what extent does Xu Bing's relationship to China in particular, being such an old world in and of itself in many ways, impact his work on literature and the written word?

Question 2

My second question for Xu Bing relates to the expanse of time involved in creating many of his installations. I am curious what effect, if any, the element of time has on the finished project?
