Summarization of Content

Monograph documenting a project by  Yangjiang Group for the Public Structures project by Gavin Wade at the Second Guangzhou Triennial in 2005. 

The work was part of an ongoing project, Strategic Questions, which aimed to develop 40 projects in response to 40 questions written by R. Buckminster Fuller in 1966. Each project would be an art work or a combination of artworks which would be developed in relation to 4 o different publication scenarios.. 

The Yangjiang Group's looked at question 14. What is Synergy? by examining new possibility of the Chinese calligraphy in the contemporary society, and tried to find the form of language for the age-old art: "A "flat" aesthetics is subverted in their creative works."
