Ai’s Treasure Box (2014) is a response to the treasure boxes that were highly prized during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1711-99) and Marcel Duchamp’s Boîte en Valise (1935-41). The treasure boxes belonging to the Qianlong Emperor contained miniature replicas of favorite objects from the imperial collections as well as Western-imported curiosities.
Inspired by the Chinese imperial example and by Marcel Duchamp, Ai decided to make his own treasure box, uniting Chinese traditional woodworking with his one-meter cube series. For the skilled craftsmen with whom Ai has collaborated with for over twenty years, the Treasure Box presented a different challenge—the creation of a complicated structure with an illusionistic surface and moving components. The box does not contain miniature reproductions of Ai’s works as in the Duchamp Boîte en Valise—or objects from his collections as in the Emperor’s treasure box—rather, it stands on its own as an abstract structure.
Part of a series playing with the idea of cubic meters.
