In 1999 my performance A Simulated Experience of the Suicide Scheme about ‘1’ was invited to be showed at Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin, 1950s-1980s, an exhibition held in Queens Museum of Art, New York. Before the exhibition started, the curatorial team made an open call for the performance to be presented on the opening day. Fortunately, my project About the Golden Apple - Split into Two was selected. However, I failed to attend the opening because of the decline of my visa application. And the performance was thus not put into action. (Their explanation was that art performance might involve commercial purposed, so they required approval from the U.S. immigration agency. But I believed this might be relevant to the tensions between the U.S. and China, after the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia.) About the Golden Apple - Split into Two draws much of its inspiration from New York City’s nickname - Big Apple.
