Written by Mind Set Art Center
Mind Set Art Center is pleased to present you two special projects - Pencil Walker: SHI Jin-Hua and Speaking About the Unknown: Residency Project by Ana Maria MICU.
Almost serving as SHI Jin-Hua’s second name, Pencil Walker, his behavioral art work, is a significant masterpiece created between 1996 and 2015. Shi walked back and forth in front of a 9.76-meter-long and 2.44-meter-tall wooden wall and left trace of 20 years of time with his pencil on it. Each of his creating session took 2 hours and 15 minutes. The process has challenged artist’s physical and mental balance and it has merged with his personal ascetic practice, turning indiscernible karma of life into physical pencil traces to complete the personal ritual of confession and repentance.
