Culture, or creative activities, including art, and especially popular culture and media, are being deliberately sterilized into commonly acceptable and profitable formulas. One of the results is that, since the early 1990's the Hong Kong based Star TV has succeeded in covering almost all major cities in Asia with its spectacularly aseptic entertaining through music videos or soap operas. Especially endangered are those for experimental activities and critical voices. On the contrary to the boom of new skylines full of high rising buildings and commercial spaces, artists and intellectuals are losing spaces and infrastructures for creation. This is often spontaneous, ephemeral, highly flexible and even immaterial.
Process counts more than the object.
Both structures are extremely flexible museums without fixed locations which migrate within the city and permanently question their own parameters. Other artists like Lin Yilin, Shi Yong, Chen Shao Xiong, Liang Juhui or Arahmaniani develop direct tactics of intervention in urban space through their mostly ephemeral actions. In other works, alternative languages, informal expressions and temporal actions are used as effective strategies of intervention.
