'back to fullness, face to emptiness'
the sculpture was especially realized for the venice art bienniale in 2009
by the ADAC (association of chen zhen's friends), established in 2003
with the aim to creating a link between all the friends of chen zhen
and all those who have been close to and supported chen zhen's oeuvre.
the association is also promoting the diffusion of a deeper knowledge
of chen zhen's work specially involving all those who would like to approach it.
