Chen Shaoxiong
Chen Shaoxiong, nasce nel 1962 nella provincia del Guangdong, nel sud della Cina. È uno dei fondatori dalla scena contemporanea artistica di Canton e uno degli esponenti del Big Tail Elephant Group, gruppo che nasce all’inizio degli anni ’90 e che nel 2003 partecipa alla Biennale di Venezia. Il comune intento è quello di lavorare su temi politici e sociali, in risposta alla rapida urbanizzazione e all’inevitabile corruzione della città moderna.
