Chen Yufan and Chen Yujun, Mulan River | Home

The Chen brothers began working together on their “Mulan River Project” in 2007. Taking a stream near their home as a starting point, they found a way to bring the cultural and social experience of “Chinese returning to their hometowns from overseas” into the context of contemporary art. In Fujianese dialect, “cuo” refers to dwellings and arrangements—this piece brings architectural styles, logistical systems, and the experience of materials together into a single body.

This artwork was featured in the UCCA exhibition "ON | OFF: China’s Young Artists in Concept and Practice, ” 2013
