Let's See What Happens...Zeng Huanguang 

Huanguang lives and works in Xiamen. A central theme of his practice is the rapid urbanisation of China and in earlier works he has collected antiques and ruins turning them into public interventions. He also works collaborative with poets, writers and China's displaced communities in socially engaged work. for this project he spent time at Occupy in London becoming increasingly fascinated by its community. In the exhibition he has recreated this site of peaceful protest as an art installation including tents graffiti, flyers, asking serious questions about the relationship between art, activism and their power to change society.

This is from the Glynn Vivian Information leaflet.

These are the photos that I took of the exhibition...

I really loved this, "We don't need money, we need change" while using change to pull attention to the words. I guess that symbolises the best way to get attention to something is to put money into it; advertising, buildings, movies. Which is what the exhibition is showing, that its problem that is how things work.

 These photos show the full length of the exhibition room that was full of tents and posters. 

Reinforcing the fact that this was a peaceful protest.

This is something that was on all of the tents. It is a notice to remove the tents that were being used during the protest. 

This image was used a lot to encourage people and is seen as a very inspirational symbol, the fact that it has been vandalised I found a little confusing as this would be great imagery to reuse to try and get reform and change.
