Chinese pavilion
Cai is one of the most well-known and influential Chinese contemporary artists, having represented his country at the Venice Biennale in 1999 with his project "Venice's Rent Collection Courtyard", a time-based sculpture which he had artisans recreate the "Rent Collection Courtyard," a famous work of Socialist Realist propaganda sculpture. Cai returned to Venice in 2005 to curate the Chinese pavilion.
