Xu applied for a teaching post at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the US, in 1990, hoping that living in the West would open his eyes to a new world of contemporary art. He joined the exodus of artists who left China after the brutal crackdown of the 1989 student Nike Air Max Jewell Femme movement and stayed in the US for nearly 18 years, successfully building an inter-national reputation alongside now-famous peers such as Ai Weiwei, whose studio he took over for a while in New York.There have been plenty of accolades. In 1993, the British Museum bought an edition of the Book from the Sky. In 1999, he won the so-called Genius Grant from the MacArthur Foundation for “exceptional creativity” exhibited by a US citizen or resident. And his reputation has thus far survived Adidas Zx 750 Mujer the cooling of enthusiasm towards his generation of Chinese artists, whose works were greedily traded by speculators in the early 2000s. Last autumn, the Guggenheim added a work from his US period to its permanent collection – one which prompted a fair amount of controversy when the museum tried to show it in the “Art and China After 1989” show, but Adidas Superstar Dames Wit which is included in the UCCA exhibition.
A Case Study of Transference (1994), now shown as a video, was an installation that featured two pigs copulating – Xu had to wait until the female was in heat – on a bed of open books. The boar was covered in English words written out in Xu’s “square word calligraphy” and the sow in his fake Chinese words. The Adidas NMD Femme Guggenheim had to withdraw the work from the exhibition after furious complaints by animal rights activists.
The video makes for uncomfortable viewing, certainly, and it is disturbing to think that Xu sees civilisation as being so fragile and shallow. “What are our borderlines when it comes to morality, the law, art? Everything is becoming more and more unclear,” he says, in pointing out the work’s relevance in today’s world. There is also a hint in his voice of, not quite Adidas ZX Flux Femme embarrassment, but a need to justify this rather sensationalist work from 24 years ago.
