London, UK. 14/02/2012. Song Dong: Waste Not. Celebrated Chinese artist, Song Dong, is known for his conceptual, personal, performances and installations. For his first solo exhibition in a major UK public gallery, Song Dong is installing the monumental work, Waste Not, in The Curve, Barbican Art Galery. Comprising over 10,000 items collected by Song Dong's mother over five decades - ranging from a section of the house to metal pots and plastic bowls to blankets, bottle caps, toothpaste tubes and toys - the installation is a tribute to his mother, as well as a meditation on family life.
