Between Heaven and Earth + consists of four independent, though corresponding works exhibited simultaneously in four locations in Beijing. Tiananmen at the Today Art Museum, Kowtow Pump at the Tang Contemporary Art Center, Bonsai at the Courtyard Gallery, and Fighter-X at the Platform China Contemporary Art Institute.
The present catalogue features Fighter-X, a five-meter long model of a fighter plane, at Platform China Contemporary Art Institute, Beijing. As said by Wu Hung, 'Fighter-X is the final realization of a dream that the artist has harbored since childhood - that of designing a fighter plane - the work also transforms a child's fantasy into a callous, aggressive plaything of war'. Artist biography is provided in the catalogue.
