Gao Mingyan and Wang Yiquan

MoCA Shanghai, Shanghai

MoCA Pavilion, the new experimental space of Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai, presents: Faith, Courage, Three Pounds of Flax, a conceptualist exhibition realized through a collaboration of the two artists Gao Mingyan and Wang Yiquan. Taking performance art as its point of departure, the artists have worked in various ways, individually and collectively conducting artistic interventions, performative actions and group interviews in order to explore a core question, namely “what is the most cherished attribute for an artist in his or her day to day life?”

Faith, Courage, Three Pounds of Flax is a koan-esque artistic creation, mapping the thinking and practice of the two conceptual artists, Gao Mingyan and Wang Yiquan, who view contemporary art as constantly revisited ideas, rather than merely fine crafted objects. Throughout its duration, the exhibition Faith, Courage, Three Pounds of Flax will ever grow as well as transform the MoCA Pavilion’s physical space into a testing ground for conceptual art. The exhibition is accompanied by a number of events and live performances, featuring Gao Mingyan and Wang Yiquan’s creative input, including: Contemporary Boxing, Artist Visa Service, Still Life with Fruit Dish, The Art of Elevator Pitch, People’s Park Shuttle and other well-planned events.

Faith, Courage, Three Pounds of Flax is organized by MoCA curatorial & education department and also supported by 1933 Contemporary, Shanghai
