"Memory and dreams are a part of reality; therefore the experience of the individual has a broad social background. Therefore: my art is on the street, in the first word I see when I flip open the dictionary, amongst ruins, in the supermarket, in the afterglow, in a moment when your mind is empty of thoughts, in gloomy days, when I realized that One Hundred Years of Solitude was written in Columbia, in sleep eighteen layers deep, in the heat of bursting into tears, after getting drunk, in Marilyn Monroe’s reading philosophy books, in the night sky…in a word, my art is no particular place, but omnipresent!" Zhong Biao, excerpted from Zhong Biao.
