Song Dong : Waste Not
15 Feb-12 Jun 2012
Barbican Art Gallery
London EC2Y 8DS
Overview
New commission for The Curve gallery. A meditation on family life and the artist’ own childhood during the Cultural Revolution, the installation comprises over 10,000 items collected by Song Dong’s mother over five decades - ranging from a section of the house to metal pots and plastic bowls to blankets, bottle caps, toothpaste tubes and toys. The activity of saving and reusing things is in keeping with the Communist adage wu jin qu yong – ‘waste not’ – a prerequisite for survival during periods of social and political turmoil.
