The artist
b. 1980 in Gansu, China; lives and works in Shanghai
Zhang Ding is showing two works at La Chaufferie, one of the Biennial's new venues. One of them offers sound in sculptural form, the other describes the out-and-out violence implicit in a traditional cooking recipe. Like meticulously deconstructed stage pieces, his colossal installations blend sound, video, sculpture and photography. The resultant immediacy of aural and visual impact creates what the artist calls a 'mysterious, compelling atmosphere' intended to plunge the spectator into both the sublime and the horrific.
