Artist resident Zhou Bin devised photographic parts of his work “A 365-Day Project” he elaborated during his time at the Angewandte. The project itself began on 7 August 2016, the first day of autumn according to the Chinese lunar calendar, and it is to last for 365 days. The title of the project is meant to convey that for the period of one year Zhou will create each day a performative artistic work. In undertaking this project, the artist is taking quite literally a statement he made to an audience on 28 April 2016 during a solo exhibition at the Chengdu Museum of Contemporary Art: “As my life enters its next phase, so does my art work.” Zhou has set out to blur the boundaries between life and creative work and to take his body to its limits in his performance work in order to allow his specific creative approach to unfold its full potential. He would like to be able to experience a higher sense of order when life and art throw him off balance.
Zhou Bin will perform in the AIL Lab during the opening hours. During the finissage on Friday, 13th of January, 18 pm, participants of Zhou Bin´s performance workshop will perform together with him.
