CityBeat Interview
On October 28, 2011, 7 P.M., with the financial support of the CONTENTS company, artist GB’s Live-Art Work 1#: “Eternity of Being Lost” was executed at the Shanghai Rockbund Art Museum. This was not just another quiet visual arts revolution, but perhaps a day which marks the birth of Laostism.
ETERNITY OF BEING LOST – Live-Art Works 1# by GB is an artwork that transcends all categorization. It is life, or perhaps the form of life—a 2-for-1 Live-Art work. Or perhaps it is “Pre-theatre” ?
The auction taking place alongside the artwork’s execution invites new interpretations about the act of art collecting. The collection of “sensory perceptions” as a work of art will transform the traditional importance placed on the material object. After an intense bidding process, the art work was sold for 170,000 RMB. Was this a first in the history of art collecting—to collect “sensory perceptions” as a work of art? Art collectors Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Qiong’er became witnesses to a Laostist’s “sensory perceptions.”

2003 “The Figure dies Away I – II”, Multimedia Photographic installation, Performance art at the Rencontres d’Arles 2003, France.
“…It is this principle of “Dualities” that Gao Bo goes back to in the installation that will be presented at the Rencontres d’Arles 2003. He shows portraits of twelve people sentenced to death, with their eyes open against a black background, then with their eyes closed against a white background and hung upside down, accompanied by videos and texts. He uses them to evoke childhood memories of the Cultural Revolution.”
—Christian Caujolle, curator, 2003

2003 “ Gao Bo Tibet 1995/2003”, Vu Gallery, Paris, France
“…One could say that this “portrait” of Tibet which organizes itself around the tension between the images of the traveler and the portraits is entirely structured by the affirmation of point of view, of subjectivity, of a thought which constitutes the double visions, reducing to nil the appearance of certitude which traverse the photographic representations in order to oblige us to think of a totality–a globally. Thus a microcosm, a well defined territory in its real geography, it returns us to a conception of the world.”
