Wang Yuyang nominated for transmediale Award 2010
Artificial Moon was last on display earlier this year, as part of the show ChinaChinaChina!!! at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in the UK. It also appeared in Italy and Beijing.
From the announcement:
It was only recently that the traditional light bulb was outlawed in the countries of the European Union. With Yuyang Wang’s installation work Artificial Moon (2007) we now have the artwork to celebrate the soon ubiquitous energy-saving lamps: With Artificial Moon the Chinese artist has employed a variety of these bulbs to create a glowing four-meter sphere called after the orb of night. In a poetic way this work draws attention to the changing roles of technology and environment.
The award winner(s) will be announced on the 6 February 2010.
We all congratulate Yuyang on this highly deserved recognition, and wish him the best of luck for the final round!
