mental invalid Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 ...somtimes a brown thread first thing in the morning is better then a cup of coffee for awaking the senses... so share man, whose the artist, more importantly his ideas and philosophies.... as far as the toy comment, i wouldnt be so quick to assume how others would view it...and also as you mentioned maybe it maybe viewed differently on our streets, but graf is as much about placement, location, environment, culture as it is about line...what may be effective somewhere may or may not be as effictive somewhere else in a different context...plus id rather get busted in nyc then in communsit beijing....r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chicken bone Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 bump Zhang Dali is Beijing's lone graffiti artist. His signature outline of a human head can be seen all over the Chinese capital - on the underpasses of the Ring roads and in the lanes (hutongs) of old Beijing. In the capital's drive to modernise itself most of the traditional courtyard houses have been destroyed, replaced by highrise blocks of flats, and many of the old houses left are marked for demolition. On those marked for demolition one can also find the mark of Zhang Dali. The artist calls his heads "Dialogue". Under the cover of night he spray paints his mark and then returns in daylight to photograph it. The photograph is transferred via a computer printing process to canvas and thus the work is documented. The rebuilding of Beijing will erase the original graffiti. The intention with his work is to call attention to the changes taking place in Chinese society and to enter into a dialogue with his compatriots whom he sees as becoming increasingly estranged as the drive towards modernisation continues. Zhang Dali also creates light boxes, with a neon outline of the head, and Destructions. Ideally the neon boxes should be placed in the city streets, becoming a part of the ever growing commercialism of China. The Destruction works are performance pieces where the artist, assisted by other workers, smashes and chisels a hole the shape of the head in a wall. When Zhang Dali first started his graffiti works he was a wanted man and lived in constant fear of arrest. In recent years the publicity generated by his work has served to protect him. Articles have appeared in the foreign and Chinese press and he now exhibits worldwide. In November he will show his work in a group exhibition at the ICA in London as well as holding his solo show with Chinese Contemporary and a solo show in Beijing. The next four months will see exhibitions in California, Holland and Tokyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stapler Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 I watched a documentry about that guy about 3 years ago. He is a funy cunt, he buys the best paint he can get [black cheap crap] and paints the heads. It was funny as hell to see the Chinese villagers trying to figure out how to remove the graffiti. First off they tried to figure out what the substance was by comparing charcole, crayons, and some others. Then they couldnt see the similarties so they just left it there. They thought it was a sign from the god, incidently it was around the time China had only just gotten spray paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
