Li Wan - Public art in Wuhan, China

Wuhan, CHINA - Li Wan is a visual artist in Wuhan who had an interactive art exhibit that had to close due to the outbreak of Coronavirus. A lot of us single folks are doing a lot of thinking about relationships and break-ups these days, so this work particularly stands out!

From the artist’s submission: I am a public artist and sculptor from Wuhan , the specific outbreak center in China . We already suffered from the Coronavirus  more than two months and experienced  much horror from the epidemic ,and it’s still on . The lockdown in my city have been last more than 60 days , many exhibition have to be closed before the proposal time . My artworks were expected to shown in a gallery till March but unfortunately closed in early January .

This piece is a public art work with interactive participation. I experienced an emotional blow last year and spent three full months immersed in the grief of a breakup for no reason. Many friends have provided me with a lot of psychological counseling during these three months, and they have also raised questions about marriage life or the coming marriage life . So I made a double bed out of paper here and made it look like a wedding bed. Then I asked a question: Have you figure yourself out? And invite everyone around this theme to write their opinions or express something in this wedding bed

I also asked Li Wan about how she was doing there. Her reply:

The outbreak looks already under control and  everything now is getter better . Thank you for your concern ,my family keep safe and healthy in right now .I know the outbreak in Canada still ,and normal life is disturbing . Sincerely hope that everything will be okay and the epidemic will pass soon.
