Wang Xingwei is an extremely intelligent artist. Characterized by a total lack of traditional sense of harmony and consistency, his conceptually oriented works often pose many questions to viewers.

His project for the exhibition, Easy Toilet, is made from a red, white and blue striped cloth, the kind of material used for temporary toilets in construction sites in China. When the construction work is completed, the toilets will disappear along with the workers, who no longer have anything to do with the luxurious apartment buildings. Is the toilet an architectural work, or a design product? It is, perhaps, the simplest and most practical design in China. The artist comments on his work: “I don’t have any qualifications or intentions to build a monument for workers. That is only another form of pretentiousness.”
