Song Dong
The videos and photographs of Song Dong (born 1966) reveal the social implications of China's booming modernity, and the artist's own attempts to reconcile that boom with its spiritual traditions and its effects on members of his family. Dad and Mom, Don't Worry About Us, We Are All Well is based around a much heralded large-scale installation titled "Waste Not" (2005), comprised of over 10,000 items ranging from pots and basins to blankets, bottle caps, toothpaste tubes and stuffed animals collected by the artist's mother over the course of more than five decades as a way of coping with the death of her husband. A core theme of "Waste Not" is the idea that people, everyday objects and personal stories provide tangible evidence of the impact of politics and history on family life. This volume surveys several works on this theme of material and bodily evidence.

Banished!
It is 1969 and China is in the throes of the Cultural Revolution. The Tao family is banished to the countryside, forced to leave comfortable lives in Nanjing to be reeducated in the true nature of the revolution by the peasants of Sanyu village. The parents face exile with stoicism and teach their son to embrace reeducation wholeheartedly. Is this simple pragmatism, an attempt to protect the boy and ensure his future? Or do the banished cadres really cling to their belief in their leaders and the ideals of the Revolution? These questions remain tantalizingly unanswered in this prize-winning first novel.

Song Dong
Der chinesische Konzeptkünstler Song Dong lässt einen unübersetzbaren Satz über das Nichtstun von verschiedenen Menschen, Unternehmen, einem Übersetzungsbüro und von Google Translate ins Englische übersetzen. Die chinesischen Schriftzeichen sind auf allen Schriftstücken identisch, dennoch fällt jede Übersetzung anders aus. Der Satz und seine Interpretationen drehen sich um das Tun, das Nichtstun und die Verschwendung und enthalten jeweils eine eigene Perspektive auf den Wert menschlicher Aktivitäten. Pro Briefpapier, Farbigkeit und Unterschrift wechseln die Bedeutungen des Satzes und Song Dongs eigene handschriftliche Entzifferung oszilliert zwischen Phasen des Nichtstuns und üblichen Alltagshandlungen: Essen, Trinken, Notdurft verrichten, Schlafen, Studieren, Vergessen, Üben und Verstehen. Am Ende der Aufzählung steht wieder der Hinweis »Doing Nothing« . Song Dong (*1966) lebt und arbeitet in Beijing. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch
