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

My musician friends are banned from playing concerts in China because they share the same views as I do. My name cannot appear on the web, because my opinion is different from the Party.

The demand for individual freedom leads us to different realms, and it enables us to participate in social events.

Any design, any city, any kind of craziness or tragedy, it all comes from a long time of preparation.

I think art is a very important weapon to achieve human freedom

China's culture and history are closely related to my living environment. This country is my birthplace. It is also where I grew up. Its culture and history shape my relations with family, friends, society, and daily life.

Being an artist is more of a mindset, a way of seeing things; it is no longer so much about producing something.
