Title: WATWDate: 03-04-2010 / 26-04-2010
Venue: Dutch Cultural Centre / Shanghai World Expo 2010, China
The title WATW (short for We Are The World) was borrowed from the popular 1985 Michael Jackson/Lionel Ritchie song. It was written for a campaign supporting fam- ine relief in Ethiopia, and later hijacked for a multitude of other purposes focusing on solidarity and mutual responsibility. The success of the song showed that even charity cannot function without a proper, entertainment-based marketing strategy. WATW combines the work of 14 artists/photographers from China and The Nether- lands with newsfeeds and real-time statistics representing the processes driving the world: from oil and coal consumption to Google searches to capital flow.
Participating artists are: Chen Xiao, Jin Ji-angbo, Mo Yi, Song Chao, Xiong Wenyun, Zhao Liang, Zeng Han, Jacqueline Hassink, Theo Niekus, WassinkLundgren, Henk Wildschut, Frank van der Salm, Gerald van der Kaap and Ad van Denderen.
