"China's avant garde artists are doubly marginal. They are marginalized in their own country, and China's art is considered marginal by the international art community...This has given many Chinese artists — whether living in China or the West — a heightened appreciation of their tenuous situation. The result is the creation of a large body of bold experimental works dissecting the artist's position in the art world and China's position in the world." - Britta Erickson.
