This question found an answer through Concrete Jungle / The Parrot's Tale, a large-scale installation by MAP Office for the 2007 Venice Biennale. Beginning with a steamy, mist-filled island, roughly in the shape of Hong Kong and constructed in the courtyard of the Hong Kong Pavilion, that was covered in oyster shells and inhabited by fake talking parrots, the work problematized the act of representation itself. This volume is an extension of MAP's Venice project and includes documentation of the complex process behind the fabrication of this much-talked-about artwork. Critical dialogues with Beijing artist Ai Weiwei complete the picture. 610 20 $a MAP Office (Firm) 650 0 $a Architecture $z Hong Kong $z Hong Kong $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Architects $v Interviews. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101282 650 0 $a Oyster shell $x Art. 651 0 $a Hong Kong (China) $v Pictorial works. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008115364 700 1 $a Gutierrez, Laurent. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr2001039684 700 1 $a Portefaix, ValeÌrie. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr2001039686 700 1 $a Ai, Weiwei. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2004022393 710 2 $a MAP Office (Firm) 711 2 $a Biennale di Venezia $n (52nd : $d 2007) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171229025219.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB3DEFD6EC6911E7AF65C16E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
