Artists: Chu Bingchao
The Mo project is proudly announce that we are going to present you with “The Hill of QiFu”, the newest work ofChu Bingchao on the 26th of May to the 24th of July 2016.
In late 2015, I went to this remote village Called Qifuvillage, which is located in the KongtongMountain that is next to the Pingliangcity in Gansuprovince. In the north of the Qifu village, there was a natural collapsedslope, and by using my own aesthetic judgment, I have renovated, repaired, andmaintained the place to reach the peaceful environment I have pursued. Thiswork has taken us 150days to complete, and we have reconstructed and fixed 5500cubic meters of mountain, planted more than 7000 different kinds of plants, andrenamed this “man-made”, “self-designed” mountain “The Hill of QiFu”. Thefirst phase of the work has been already completed, and the second phase isstill under preparation. “The Hill of QiFu” is going to be a long-term projectof art. “Qifu’s” land and the “mountain crater” that surrounds it are not there-characterization of media, but the direct connection between the nature andour physical body. It’s my way of obtaining the nature, and my way of expressmy unique artistic conception.
