Wang Jun
Scholar’s Rock Project
15-22 April 2010
Wang Jun is inviting all artists to take part in his project. All work submitted will be exhibited at Chinese Arts Centre during Wang Jun’s Open Studio, 15-21 April.
‘Rock-paper-scissors’ is a universal folk game that dates back to ancient times. Players substitute the three elements of Rock, Paper and Scissors with representative hand gestures and the winner is determined by following the rules:
Scissors cut paper (scissors wins against paper)
Paper covers rock (Paper wins against Rock)
Rock breaks scissors (Rock wins against Scissors)
If both players show the same gesture, the game is tied.
Wang Jun has commenced the game and has presented ‘Rock’. He has created two ‘Rock’ based works in his studio at Chinese Arts Centre. Participants from Manchester’s artistic community are invited to challenge and respond to Wang Jun’s work which can be viewed at Chinese Arts Centre. Wang Jun hopes the work will explore the relationship between cultural differences, psychological status and historical variation.
In the game ‘rock-paper-scissors ’, Wang Jun is eager to meet your challenge and view your response.
