MoCA Shanghai Lecture: Another History - The art thought and practice of Tiehai Zhou
02 March 2010

Another history is a history of the artist's individual development in the public history background. The artist's unique existence has formed a psychological distance from the whole history. The ever-growing image world, which the artist is creating with his characteristic thought, experience, insight, irony and criticism, is another history. "Creating history" is based on " simulating history" which however, should be based on subjective creation. Therefore, who on earth can distinguish the difference between creating history and simulating history? In this meaning ,Tiehai's art thought can be regarded as facing with history ,and at the same time writing another history with his own art pratice----this is the core and nature of Tiehai Zhou's art world ,as well as source and direction of his art thought.
