He graduated from the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (now the China Academy of Art) with a degree in Chinese painting in the 1980s. He had served in the military since 1978 and then worked in a field survey team after retiring from the army. He describes himself as an artist of action and devotes himself to engage action instead of performance into his artistic creation. He is famed for his collaboration with the artist Xiao Lu to complete her performance art piece “Dialogue” with two shootings at the “China/Avant-Garde Exhibition” in 1989. This noted “shooting incident” has been called the milestone of the transition of Chinese modern art from the 1980s to the 1990s. He and Xiao Lu immigrated to Australia in December of that year, but have since returned to China and started his own studio in Hangzhou. His works have been shown at Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong; Chicago Cultural Centre, Chicago; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Sydney. He has also participated in multiple international exhibitions and biennales in China, Australia, Korea, Japan, the United States, and Holland, such as China’s New Art, Post-1989 (1993) and Inside Out: New Chinese Art (1998). In 2007, his artwork has been co-exhibited with Ai Weiwei and Zhang Peili at Kogo-space, Hangzhou, China.
