Song Dong and Yin Xiuzhen’s ‘The Way of the Chopsticks’ Will Make You Appreciate Household Appliances in a New Way
Posted in: Uncategorized
Beijing-based artists/married couple Song Dong and Yin Xiuzhen have embarked on a his-and-hers exhibition that truly sets them apart. With insight from their 11-year-old daughter, Song ErRui, the installation The Way of Chopsticks pulls the differences of their artless childhood memories in Communist China to their daughter’s contemporary upbringing.
By taking everyday households items and splitting them in half—literally—Dong and Xiuzhen each take a side and adorn it with inspiration from their childhood memories and today’s world. A refrigerator becomes half-covered in salvaged windows and half-draped in pantyhose and concrete powder. A bathroom is transformed into a gender-fueled art exhibit.
Dong’s take on the bathroom.
