整个展览历时十七天,艺术家邀请了十位在北京周边地区以收拣旧砖为生的民工,在北京长征空间的展厅中利用拆迁后的两万多块旧砖建造了一个四米高一百平米见方的砖屋,砖屋建好两天后即被拆除,所有旧砖再次经民工之手重新流回城市之中。

The entire exhibition took place over the course of 17 days. The artist enlisted the help of 10 migrant workers whose livelihood in Beijing is to collect and resell bricks to erect a structure that used 20,000 old bricks to build a 4 meter high and 100 square meter room in the gallery space. A few days after being built, it was destroyed. The bricks then were taken away by the migrant workers and re-sold. A series of 12 black and white photographs document the raising and razing of the structure.
