I hope that my work expresses my worldview and encourages people to exchange ideas.

If a nation cannot face its past, it has no future.

The museums used to be exhibition halls for government propaganda, and now every city wants to build a museum. A few thousand are to be built in the next few years, all using taxpayer money. But there is no system, no research, no content, no good programs, no good managers.

Of course, people will call you an old artist or young artist, which is just a character of you. But personally, I don't think my work and my understanding of art is so much related to being Chinese, but the character of that. Maybe it's beyond my own consciousness.

The Internet has established a public sphere and developed a pressure which the government can no longer ignore.

Choices after waking up: To be true or to lie? To take action or be brainwashed? To be free or be jailed?

I curated this show [Shanghai Biennale ], I was by no means trying to shock people or be controversial.
