  • Urban Fox, Bird Hotel, Shanghai, 2016

    In the two years that Urban Fox has stood in Shanghai, pollution in the air has turned the straw black. At the same time, four families of sparrows have made their homes in the structure. I wanted to celebrate their ingenuity for the 2016 Jing’an International Sculpture Project by turning the fox into a Hotel for Shanghai wildlife. The relationship of the birds to the fox can become a metaphor for the relationship of people to the city of Shanghai. We partnered with Museum of Natural History and the Jing’an District government. JISP 2016 runs from September 20 – November 20, 2016.
