China is everywhere: Chinese Design at the V&A was underwhelming and arty, and then here’s a work by Zhan Wang on loan to the British Museum. So in a sense it is “art in the public domain” in that the British Museum is seething with visitors, and the central courtyard is a grand place to hang out. So check this out and read the text account of his working process. It’s a spectacular thing, a reflective metal rock, but does it make it? As art, that is? By his numbering system, there must be lots of people in the world who need stainless steel rocks. Imagine one of these in your garden: “hey mom, quick, call the Terminator…” (and see how it’s morphing into a lion?)
