Down to the bone

Closing exactly on July 31st this week, Huang Yong Ping's installation, "Tower Snake", takes up an entire space at one of Gladstone Gallery's rooms. Towering high up, you are able to walk around and experience the structure in person. The gigantic piece was constructed solely out of bamboo, steel and aluminum; all the materials commonly used for scaffolding and construction in Asian countries. Needless to say, bamboos is one of the strongest and long lasting material for such heavy duty.
