Feng Boyi

Feng Boyi (fl. c. 2000; Chinese name馮博一) is an eminent independent art curator and critic in China. He has been assistant editor of the China Artists' Association newsletter "Artist's Communication" since 1988. He has also edited and published numerous catalogues and papers on art and established the [http://arts.tom.com Artists' Alliance] , a major online forum for contemporary art in China.

Notable curated exhibits include:

* 2003, "Left Hand - Right Hand" showcased Chinese and German sculptors at 798 Space and Daoyaolu Workshop A. Among the works was Sui Jianguo's enormous concrete sculpture "Mao's Right Hand", which is just what the name suggests, and an example of modern Chinese art's ironic reflections on history.

* 2002, "Beijing Afloat" was the opening exhibition of the [http://www.tokyo-gallery.com Beijing Tokyo Art Projects] (BTAP, 北京东京艺术工程) inside a 400 m² division of Factory 798's main area. This was the first renovated space featuring the high arched ceilings that would become synonymous with Beijing's 798 Art Zone. The show drew a crowd of over 1,000 people and marked the beginning of the popular infatuation with the area.

* 2000, "Fuck Off," jointly organized with artist Ai Weiwei, was a notorious art exhibition which ran in opposition to the Shanghai Biennial. Its name was a loose and questionable translation of the exhibition's corresponding Chinese title: The Uncooperative Attitude.
