Bird Language

A small installation of four birdcages by contemporary artist Xu Bing. The birdcages are formed by metal words - questions and answers about the artist’s work. Make a noise around the artworks and the toy birds inside will revolve and emit sound in response. Xu Bing was the former President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, and has previously exhibited works at The British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and the Ashmolean Museum.
