Remark

Photographer

1****** / E This modern sculpture by Huang Yong Ping is the Bat Project IV from 2004 relating to a major diplomatic incident when a US Navy EP-3 on a spying mission collided with a Chinese fighter in Chinese airspace. Here stuffed bats hang from the cockpit of a real aircraft, an allusion to the bat logo on the fin of the offending aircraft. Exhibited for the first time in Europe in the Nottingham Contemporary gallery. It is strange yet enthralling

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue May 10, 2011: Mike I never thought I would see a shot on here from my city, Nottingham! I visited this exhibition last week and it's great to see it now on a.net. Well done.
A visitor from United States posted Tue May 10, 2011: A-netter's have traditionally been about aviation and pleasantly apolitical. Some of you are really taking this site downhill!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue May 10, 2011: I love this Photo. I really want to go and see it now but my busy schedule keeps me from doing it :(
A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue May 10, 2011: I sincerely hope that no bats were intentionally injured in the creation of this exhibit... ;)
A visitor from United States posted Tue May 10, 2011: Flying rodents or Flying rats?
A visitor from Hong Kong posted Tue May 10, 2011: This photo has hurt the feelings of the American people and all bats of the bat republic.
A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue May 10, 2011: Great photo!
A visitor from Canada posted Tue May 10, 2011: My heart goes out to the lives lost in this tragedy. The sad truth is that the US is always spying on everyone, and always will. The only people who believe otherwise, is US citizens. They believe what their government tells them to believe... Hey there's one now at the bottom! You see! Remarkable!
A visitor from Germany posted Tue May 10, 2011: Looks a little bit like a scene from a horror movie.
A visitor from United States posted Tue May 10, 2011: The EP-3 was in international airspace. And what specific kind of aircraft is this?
