Influenced by Marcel Duchamp and the Dada movement, Huang Yong Ping performed many extremely violent acts against Socialist Realism; for example he invented mechanisms in which the work was governed by chance operations, he burned all his work after having exhibited it (inviting other artist to do the same), he deliberately organized a change of exhibition plans on the very eve of opening night, and so on.
Sheep Peril is a work specially devised by Huang Yong Ping for the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain. In this installation, he has invented a contemporary myth inspired by current events—the “mad cow” affair. Like other pieces in recent years (Yellow Peril, Theatre of the World), this work raises the issue of the food chain.
The installation is designed around two main elements—a monumental figure of a cow looming over a flock of sheep. Sheep Peril invites the visitor to circulate through the installation; then the viewer becomes the third element of the chain.
