A work by Zhu Yu at ‘DIAL ‘62761232’.
Artist's Statement:
'The work is an imitation of a jury process, concerning the debates on whether the usage of corpse in my artwork was legal. The work took the form of a postcard, with an image of myself in the court on one side, and indictment of 'The Case of Zhu Yu Insulting Corpse' on the back side.'
“快遞展”中朱昱的作品。藝術家自述：
“模擬法庭的審判程序，對我在藝術創作中使用屍體是否違法展開辯論。這個作品是以名信片的形式參展的。名信片的正面是一張我被審判的圖片。背面是《朱昱侮辱屍體案》的起訴書。”
Dial 62761232 was the name of an express delivery company that worked with a group of Shanghai-based artists to bring the exhibition to the homes of audience members. The delivery company assigned 15 couriers to the task, who were trained at the BizArt Center. Each courier was given a suicase with a number of works by the artists. Each of the 15 suitcases contained the same works, and each participating artist was identified by name. When a courier delivered the exhibition via suitcase, the viewer would have to choose number in order to see the works.
