40+4 Art Is Not Enough! Not Enough! is the first ever interactive panoramic video installation about art in China. Essentially, it is a series of videotaped interviews, by Davide Quadrio, Lothar Spree and Xiaowen Zhu, with forty Shanghai-based artists, dealing not with artwork per se, but rather with how artists themselves perceive their activity, their role and position in a changing, post-conventional society. It seeks to “map out” some of the contours of the city’s artistic imagination, providing a cartography of the force fields of its subjectivities. Above and beyond an unsparingly critical, and at times partisan analysis of artistic imaginaries, it provides a heuristic focus on the urban subjectivities of one of the contemporary world’s most intense urban experiments—Shanghai. The PanoramaScreen version of 40+4 was created in collaboration with ZKM | Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe through Xiaowen Zhu's participation in the artist residency programme at the museum in 2010 and 2011. 40+4 is part of the museum's permanent collection. This project is supported by Arthub Asia, Centro di Cultura Contemporanea Strozzina , and ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe.
