From the VTV Archive (2007): Cao Fei: National Father – Guo Fu, 2006
Cao Fei curated a solo exhibition for her father, Cao Chon‑gen, featuring his series of Sun Yat‑Sen portrait statues. The show, titled “National Father – Guo Fu,” interrogates the dual reverence for Sun Yat‑Sen as both a political founder and a familial patriarch across Mainland China and Taiwan. By framing the sculptures within the metaphor of nation versus family, Fei invites a generational reassessment of history and identity. The project debuted at Art Basel 2007, positioning contemporary Chinese art within a cross‑strait dialogue.
