The 1/2 series was inspired by the market in Beijing where Zhang Huan ate breakfast every morning. “I could see rows and rows of ribs on sale at different stalls. When I saw the ribs, I saw myself. Half of a person is his body and the other half is his soul.” Zhang photographed himself with “meat” (the ribs of an animal carcass) and with meat and “text” (thoughts on poetry and culture written on his body by friends). Humans are animals, Zhang reminds us, but language and art set us apart from our fellow creatures.

À Lusaka

À Lusaka (1982) belongs to an ongoing series, Lynch Fragments, which Melvin Edwards began in 1963. The Lynch Fragments are small-scale abstract wall reliefs that feature recognizable objects—often objects that could serve as weapons, such as chains, knives, and railroad spikes. Through Edwards’s composition and welding technique, familiar elements shed their functional associations, becoming lines and shapes in space, and yielding innovative sculptural forms.
