Unlike Nixon's visits to China in 1972 to experience Jiangqing's Red Detachment of Women on the national stage during the Cultural Revolution, an inflatable 1:1 replica of Henry Moore’s Two Piece Reclining Figure No.1(1959) was made by a Chinese factory and carries green-screen effect. Created for a site-specific project in a multipurpose commercial building called the Global Centre, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
The original bronze one right now sits in a small garden in the Chelsea College of Art that moved from the old site of the college at Manresa Road, Chelsea, recall the sculpture and the architecture by Hubert Bennett that hold somewhat in between concrete and the abstraction.
