Toilet 

The art gallery is a weapon of control. 

It's a sterile, white, silent institution designed to make you forget you have a body—a body that sweats, digests, and shits. It teaches you to be clean, quiet, and obedient. 

We are here to begin your de-conditioning. 

Welcome to my 7.1.4 surround-sound indoctrination chamber. In this hall of perfect audio, we have composed a symphony for the guts: a thunderous, hyper-realistic orchestra of explosive bowel movements, roaring farts, and piss hitting porcelain. 

And because true liberation is a full-body experience, you won’t just hear it. You will smell it. 

This is a forced re-acquaintance with the abject—the raw, disgusting reality your body knows and the institution tries to erase. This is a revolt against an art of "decoding" and control. Stop intellectualizing. Start feeling it in your flesh. 

We contaminate the clean space of ideology to validate the messy truth of the body. 

Submit to the process. Your flesh has the final say. 

XINQIAO

Xinqiao is a leading practitioner of Metabolic Formalism, a vanguard movement that positions the human digestive tract as the primary site of aesthetic production. His work systematically transmutes involuntary biological processes into rigorous artistic praxis. 

His sculptural practice, which he terms "Auto-Extrusionism," constitutes a durational investigation into organic creation. He regards each daily act of defecation as the production of a unique, ephemeral sculpture. These works are meticulously documented at the moment of their genesis before being ritually surrendered to municipal water systems. 

In the realm of sonic art, he operates as a bio-acoustic composer. His everyday project, "Farting," involves the comprehensive archival of his gastrointestinal acoustics, treating each emission as a discrete compositional element. 

Through this deeply integrated methodology, Xinqiao’s work re-contextualizes the abject as sublime, forcing a fundamental question: If the body serves as a vessel for creation, must we not consider its every output a potential masterpiece?
