Preface

Text/Wu Liang

Yang Ming’s Miraculous works of recently, opens an “unapproachable book”, which is yet to be written, by its infinite fractured energy, collapse and cohesion. The Subject of this book cannot be fully expressed; the language of this book is completely anti-sculpture. It is neither stone nor bronze, it is – a complex, of God and Devil, Faust and Mephist. It named after itself and separates from itself. It is present, but is not to express itself; it is the object, but not about symbol, semeiology and mythology; it is also absolutely subjective, stem from mysterious secret power – which is far longer than the history of human civilization; it is an existing “manifestation”, from here on, we found, at least we found. The destructive creation is happening inside of the sculptor’s inner universe. In other words, Yang Ming starts with one or several continuous word, and presents them as one, or a group, a pile, a series of  “Anonymous objects”, to go back to the moment when he was at his most obsessive, enthusiastic, delirious and passionate beginning. God dislike sacrifice offerings because the whole world belongs to him, he owns everything but does not need any. Is that shadow cast by sky a divine descendant? An ambassador? An ancient Pontifex Maximus? Or an uninvited foreign matter that falls off from another space? This unsearchable “thing-in-itself” is the shadow behind Plato’s cave. The harshest of nature, the death of fertility, the vast abyss, the eternal return, and the infinite nothingness floating in the sky and sees the sound of inaudible.  It is the “X”!
