I recently visited the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis to see the Huang Yong Ping retrospective. The show was totally amazing. I took a ton of photos only some of which are included below. The one on the bottom right is his infamous Theater of the World which he has not successfully exhibited in the past because of its use of live insects. The turtle shaped case features scorpions, snakes, cockroaches, millipedes, crickets and spiders under a metal cage. The idea is to witness survival of the fittest darwinism in real time.

Bank of Sand, Sand of Bank a solid mass of sand molded into the shape of the former Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation building on the Bund, Shanghai. Over the course of the show it will dry out and fall apart.
