Exhibition Label: "Qiu Anxiong: New Book of Mountains and Seas," Feb-2010, Kris Ercums Inscription: West of the Isle of Ying [victory] there are tall black clouds as high as the lengths of 10,000 swords that are in the shape of a sea serpent. The areas it covers resemble war zones, and never host life again. The world below it is chaos, and it is called Hai Yun, “the Cloud of Shock,” or Hei Sheng “the Sound of Darkness.”
