About Temporary Space:
This entire exhibition took place over the course of 20 days. The artist enlisted the help of 10 migrant workers whose livelihood in Beijing is to collect and resell bricks to erect a structure that used 20,000 year old bricks to build a 4 meter high and 100 square meter room in the gallery space. A few days after being built, it was destroyed. The bricks then were taken away by the migrant workers and re-sold. A series of 12 black and white photographs document the raising and razing of the structure. A 10-minute video documents the progress of the migrant workers.
