Watch: Qian Weikang
In 1993, artist Qian Weikang was given a simple instruction: create an artwork in response to 45 degrees. Drawing on his experience as a boilermaker, he transformed steel, video and installation into a work that captured the spirit of artistic experimentation in 1990s China. Hear curator Carol Yinghua Lu explore the story behind this work, on view in Australia for the first time, in our current exhibition.
