The Virtues Project: Easy Jail
Ada Kai-Ting Yang
For the exhibition, Ada Kai-Ting Yang made a performance titled
The Virtues Project: Easy Jail. It dealt with moral education and artistic
labor in public space. Yang was performing in costume and wearing an
oversized orange prison jumpsuit in the former juvenile prison in Weimar.
While the performance was taking place, the words ‘Nothing Compares’
were audible, playing on a loop over a speaker system, edited from the
song Nothing Compares 2 U (released on January 8, 1990) by Sinéad
O’Connor.
During the performance, the artist used spray-paint and masking tape to
write Chinese Calligraphy between stairs indicating eight virtues that are
moral foundations of society in the Chinese cultural sphere:
loyalty ( 忠 ), filial piety ( 孝 ), benevolence ( 仁 ), love ( 愛 ), honesty ( 信 ),
justice ( 義 ), harmony ( 和 ) and equality ( 平 ).
