The society was so different [in China] - it was a feudalistic society. It didn't come to a point of industrial revolution until twenty years ago.

China hasn't only existed for one day. Now, the whole nation has become richer and it's become a problem. The problem is universal. The factor is big. Everybody has to rethink the balance of the world and the whole landscape.

The tragic reality of today is reflected in the true plight of our spiritual existence. We are spineless and cannot stand straight.

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

I have people working together, doing different things: architecture, art installation, photography, publishing, and curatorial works and design.

It's always nice to share your energy with young people, the people who might not have any skills but are simply willing to be a part of it.

The rest of the world understands little about China's changes and the possibilities and crises that come with them.
