[O. Brody & K. Paetau]

Please find below some projects we would like to inform you about,
At ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art (Germany): we are participating in the upcoming group exhibition "The Global Contemporary. Art Worlds After 1989" with the work: Wang Bin Torture in Commercial Quality, High Quality, and Museum Quality. A triptych commissioned to be painted in China based on an explicit photograph of the massacred torso of Wang Bin. Wang Bin died as a result of torture inflicted on Falun Dafa members by the Chinese government.

Our exhibition "Made in China" at Factory Art in Berlin ended last week. We presented several series of works produced in China with 'our Chinese assistants': exploiting the cheap labour and challenging the viewers' sense of artistic quality with the Made in China label.

We are participating in this new publication by Gestalten publishers: "Art & Agenda Political Art and Activism". "This book explores the current interrelationship between art, activism, and politics. It presents new visual concepts and commentaries that are being used to represent and communicate emotionally charged topics, thereby bringing them onto local political and social agendas in a way far more powerful than words alone".
