Zhang Huan – Yilmaz Dziewior, RoseLee Goldberg, Robert Storr

Powerful, political, thought provoking images by performance artist Zhang Huan deal with complex issues of identity, spiritualism, vulnerability, and transgression. They have made him the current enfant terrible of the global contemporary art scene, which hails his works as being unorthodox, innovative, and/or avant-garde.

One of the most important and innovative artists in contemporary China, Zhang Huan (b. 1965) brought the burgeoning Chinese art scene to international attention in the 1990s with a series of taboo-breaking performances. His artwork continues to explore the tragedies of the human condition and the spiritual essence of Buddhism in a range of media that includes photography, painting and monumental sculpture.
