In the evening of April 27, 2015, the award ceremony of “1st Changjiang International Present Art Exhibition” was held by the “Changjiang（Yangtze River）Waves”organizing committee triumphantly. Above 500 top-level people in the international art world including famous artists, art scholars, and art journalists from more than 30 countries, as well as ambassadors from many embassies, attended in this ceremony.

In addition to the art works that exhibited in the exhibition, another special program was shown during the ceremony, that is, a “friendly performance art competition” among all the presenting artists. The art experts invited in the ceremony gave the marks on every work performed by the artists of the group. What a pioneering in the art history it was!

Among the competitors, a famous awarded artist group “ Envious, jealous and hateful experts in awards” incorporates three well-known artists. One is artist Tan Tan, who performed her death on the stage of the award ceremony, which is named “Rising One body for the eminent stage”( dedicate to a famous performance in Chinese contemporary art history “Rising One Meter for the Nameless Mountain”, 1995). For creating this art work, she dead on the stage that she had craved for long without hesitation. In order to praise her fearless sacrifice spirit, the committee awarded her many “Golden medals”.

Following, “freshman of art” Liang Shuang joined Tan Tan who was just reborn in the flower. These two performed another excellent art work “Seeing the world” with their bright eyes. Hence, they deservingly won several “Silver medals”.  

The third artist XXW created an art work “ The prop”. In this work she hided herself into the prop of the award ceremony, which was the podium on the stage. But because she cloaked herself too thoroughly, no one in the jury could see her, thus she missed the medals in the individual performance section. Her hair turned into white in one second by her depression for the result…

The two awarded artists felt extremely exited for their records. They even tasted their medals by themselves! Surprisingly, they found that the medals were not made of real gold! With a huge anger, they decide to participate in the team competition of “ Rhythmic gymnastics of art”, with a target to earn some real golds.

And then, the three artists showed their maximum wisdom in their collective creation “ We are seated alone”. For making this work, they sat on about 40 stacked chairs which still kept the body temperatures from the asses of the “unawarded artists”, with a big risk to fall on the floor. During one hour, no staff or other artists noticed them, or recognized their art creation. Finally, this unique work won the first prize authorited by the “Changjiang Waves”organizing committee.

Concequently, “Envious, jealous and hateful experts in awards” held a press conference at the bank of Yangtze River, which shocked the whole art world inside China and abroad.
