Jian Jun Xi & Cai Yuan

CAI YUAN and JIAN JUN XI: Also known as “Mad For Real” are Chinese performance team dating back to the 1980s. They emigrated to the UK in the 1980s and continued to work together on many performances including “Soya Sauce and Ketchup Fight” and their highly publicized work “Two Artists Jump on Tracey Emin’s Bed” (1999) at Tate Britain’s Turner Prize Exhibition, as well as “Two Artists Piss on Duchamp’s Urinal,” (2000) at Tate Modern, London. Mad For Real (Cai Yuan and Jian Jun Xi)’s oeuvre has continually questioned the relationship of power to the individual.
