Will Kwan presents his latest project Displacement (with Chinese characteristics) in Shanghai at the Shanghai Duolun MoMA. Juxtaposing earth work conceptualism against the rebuilding and rise of China, Will creates a massive yet ephemeral earth work. The change and shift of the local Shanghai landscape, aided by the banks no doubt, takes form of a huge logo: a sly commentary about the change and shift of the global landscape. Though it's probably not large enough to be seen from space with the naked eye, a little geotagging would make it as easily found as it's conceptual patriarch Spiral Getty. In a way, it's an parallel comment like that of Anish Kapoor's Sky Mirror in New York (for another few days).
If you're in Shanghai, there's an opening on Friday night at 19:00.
