– YANGJIANG GROUP: ACTIONS FOR TOMORROW – – RELATED ARTICLES – By ARTAND, Sydney The New MAMA A Kickstarter campaign by 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art has been selected for an Art Basel Crowdfunding Initiative. The campaign is one of only four non-profit arts projects selected to feature on the first wave of Art Basel’s newly launched Crowdfunding Initiative, which aims to generate international support for visual arts projects and non-profit visual arts organisations worldwide. The new National Gallery Singapore Titled ‘Actions for Tomorrow’ and staged by Yangjiang Group, the contemporary art project funded by the 4A Kickstarter campaign will be presented in Sydney during the Chinese New Year Festival in January. Yangjiang Group is a contemporary Chinese collective founded in 2002 by Zheng Guogu, Chen Zaiyan and Sun Qinglin. Appropriating Chinese calligraphy and Kathman Saves the World experimenting with performance, painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation, the group challenges traditional Chinese artforms and aims to rid their work of any established rules and conditions. Their practice often comprises daily actions and process in the form of non-traditional, large-scale, architectural structures. Artists Respond to Paris Tragedy The project at 4A will include the commissioning of a new work by Yangjiang Group, an exhibition at 4A that will take over both the public and private areas, and a one-night only participatory performance and garden party at the Chinese Gardens of Friendship in Darling Harbour. 4A’s campaign, which ends 18 October, aims to raise $20,000 to fund the project.
