...Work by the hotly touted 29-year-old sculptor and filmmaker appears this month at the Guangzhou Triennial and from Oct. 30 in a solo exhibition at Hong Kong's Ooi Botos Gallery. The Hong Kong show's centerpiece is a six-minute short depicting French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg wading slowly into the sea in a black evening gown...
...heart of its little universe just becomes a little less of a book. Levithan argues that the principle of the thing remains the same, regardless of the media it's packaged in.

What they had in common other than age was work that was abrasive, unconventional and a little unappetizing - Lucas' first solo exhibition was called "Penis Nailed to a Board"; Quinn produced a self-portrait bust made from his own frozen blood. It was also calculating, the kind of work summed up as willing to shock, but sometimes it had less to do with shock than with the enduring British qualities...
