The Beauty of Dismantling

Sometimes the dismantling of an exhibition is as compelling as the live work. 

We missed the Shanghai Biennale at the Power Station of Art. But dismantling of the monumental work Bodhisattva with a Thousand Hands by Huang Yong Ping created it's own spectacle of scale, improvisation, delicacy and risk.

Which is perfectly in keeping with the Biennale's theme of Reactivation  echoing the venue's former life as a working power station.
