Sun Yuan (born 1972) and Peng Yu (born 1974) are artists living and working collaboratively in Beijing ever since the late 90's. Sun was born in Beijing and Peng in Heilongjiang. Sun and Peng are contemporary conceptual artists〔(Orbit.zkm.de )〕 whose work has a reputation for being confrontational – they have previously used live animals in their installations.〔Marlow, Tim, The Independent, (Visual Art: East meets West in new cultural revolution ) from (FindArticles.com )〕 As their contribution to the 2005 Venice Biennale, the duo invited Chinese farmer Du Wenda to present his home-made UFO at the Chinese Pavilion.〔 They won the ''Contemporary Chinese Art Award'' in 2001.〔(ArtNet.com )〕 Their 2009 solo exhibition, "Freedom", at Tang Contemporary in Beijing, was seen by some critics as a memorial to the Tiananmen Square incident. The installation featured a large fire-hose hooked to a chain that erupted water spray at a distance of 120 meters. .〔(Duff, Stacey, Time Out Beijing,"Of Corpse We Can" )〕 ==Life and works== Sun Yuan and Peng Yu are famous for working with very extreme mediums with their art works. They have used materials such as human fat tissue, live animals, and baby cadavers to deal with issues of perception, death, and the human condition. This has made them some of the most controversial artists in China today. One of their live performance pieces used old men dressed up as famous world leaders. They were put into electric wheelchairs and set into a blank room to slowly move around and bump into each other as a harmless “skirmish.” The old men looked weathered and aged most of them drooling and expressionless as a parody of the U.N. dead. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sun Yuan & Peng Yu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
