Equipment Design: HIGH AND LOW LEVEL
This design mainly uses elms and imitates the furniture style in Ming Dynasty. It put the parts of the furniture together to create a meaningful object.
PRACTICE IS THE SOLE CRETERION FOR TESTING TRUTH
This work is designed to one exhibition named Communication Disorder. This exhibition aims at showing some objects that audiences can experience communication disorders. We built a wooden room inside the showroom, the spiral stairs lead visitors wall in towards two groups of objects with verbal instructions. The first group is a piece of knife stone with one iron stick (the diameter is 10cm), and the instruction says, “These are a knife stone and an iron stick for you, please sharpen the stick to a needle.” The other group includes a barrel of water and a piece of stone, and the instruction reads, “Please penetrate the stone by drops of water.” These two group of objects both show their respect and doubt to two famous philosophic stories from ancient China.
Equipment Design: SIMULATION
The same as the exhibition, the name of the work is Simulation as well. There is a solid steel pillar being welded like a tree and the pillar is planted into piles of earth. Besides, the outer part uses some bushes to be the fence. The design applies weak matters to protect strong objects. This is a technique of dry humor to reverse some theory.
Equipment Design: WALL
The theme of the exhibition is Wall. It is an general exhibition includes modern art, furniture, products, etc. Some wooden walls (height: 2400mm, width: 1220mm, thickness: 300mm) are the main elements of exhibits. The design reworks the walls and adds new elements in them to rebuild relationships, in this way to set forth the theme. Each wall of the design reflects the surrounding world, and leads audiences to reconsider the relationship between walls and the world, by sticking mirrors that are printed with brick patterns onto the wooden walls.
