In Put It In, the work that gives the name to the most recent solo show of the artist (Capsule Shanghai, 2018), Jiang Li is photographed when peeing in a stainless-steel urinal. The urinal, used by Duchamp and later becoming a golden toilet with Cattelan, it is here just stainless-steel. This is also a reference to Chinese contemporary art’s incapability of progressing in the essence: the material changed but the urinal is not a developed form of Duchamp’s one. The leitmotif of pee, strong in the exhibition, is very meaningful to the artist who claims the refusal of hypocrisy and fakeness, as well as the acceptance of people’s own nature and the fact of just being who they are. It doesn’t matter if we are pee, we shouldn’t pretend to be fake whisky. Jiang Li’s action is just to pee on it, nothing deeper. But his pee is not fake, it is his real pee.
