ONE THOUSAND EGGS: FOR WOMEN,2018

Sarah Lucas

1962-

Wall, eggs

Dimensions variable

Sarah Lucas is a female artist from the UK. She is good at embezzling gender symbols such as eggs and bananas, using everyday materials to create art, and often uses critical humor to question gender discrimination. One Thousand Eggs: For Women has performed at the Red Brick Art Museum in Beijing and Hammer Museum in Los Angeles successively.

Eggs have long been a symbol of female fertility, and egg also represents female eggs. As the eggs are broken, female participants can feel the pleasure of breaking the restriction of their female identity. For Chinese women, this is a rebellion against the traditional concept that women must have children and a release of long-repressed feelings. At the same time, this event can show society the collective power that women generate when they create and destroy. In addition to expressing the liberation of women's behavior in the theme, this performance also inspires artists to encourage them to create more distinctive Chinese feminist art through performance, multi-sensory methods, puns, metaphors, and interaction in the future.
