“World Markets is an enlarged newspaper ball made of stainless steel. Both legible and illegible, the images and information it contains are at once information waste and a retrospective reflection of reality.”
Excerpt from the Wang Du catalog, Paris: Cercle d’art, Palais de Tokyo—Center for Contemporary Art, 2004.
World Markets, a simple sheet of newspaper crumpled and rolled into a ball, is suddenly transformed into an imposing steel monument. But did the artist erect it to glorify the world of finance, or does he wish to reveal its fragile power and its formidable pride?
Excerpt from the press release from the Wang Du Parade 4, Paris : Le Palais de Tokyo, 2004.
