Context

Penis On Duty continues from 3 May 1995 to 14 February 1997. Each day, Liu Xinhua used ink to paint his penis on a page of Concise Encyclopedia Britanica, wrote a brief remark, and signed the date. The volume of the encycolpedia being used in the performance was exhibited in the exhibition 'Another Long March: Chinese Conceptual and Installation Art in the Nineties' in 1997.

<殖日>在1995年5月3日至1997年2月14日期間持續進行。劉新華每天用墨水在《簡明不列顛百科全書》的一頁上拓印自己的生殖器,寫上一句話,并寫上當天的日期。在作品中使用的百科全書在1997年的《又一次長征:九十年代中國觀念和裝置藝術》展覽中展出。
