The White Rabbit Collection is one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of contemporary Chinese art. Founded by Kerr and Judith Neilson, it focuses on works produced after 2000.
The origins of the Collection go back to the late 1990s, when Judith Neilson engaged Wang Zhiyuan, a Chinese artist then living in Sydney, as her art tutor. He introduced her to the astonishing explosion of creativity taking place in China in the wake of the “Opening Up” that had begun in 1989. Mrs Neilson began buying works, but soon ran out of space to hang them. She and her husband then decided to open a gallery that would make the exciting world of contemporary Chinese art available to all Australians.
The White Rabbit Gallery, a specially converted knitting factory near Sydney’s Central Station, has four floors of exhibition space as well as a theatrette, a library and a teahouse. Only a fraction of the Collection is on show at any time. The entire contents of the gallery are rehung twice a year.

What Xiong Wenyun think about "Koong Koong":
"Koong Koong" is the sort of person
"'Koong Koong', I have compiled from the shape of a ring. The ring has four tentacles, and its shape not only like animals, like a plant, but also as the body parts." Xiong Wen Yun said, "In this ring Inspired, I cut it into three of the four tentacles, as distinct from human and animal ears. the top of the head of the three small angle is not the ear, that the three organs that can grow when allowed flowers, grass, trees, or even release the gas or missile or something. "
What i felt about "Koong Koong". The first time i had hear the name i feel soooo cute.and i had named one of my friend as "kongkong". so i get more attention of this printing. as i saw the printing i feel all the face of "koong koong"just like myself. every face will be a part of my life, and also when i was young it could be one of my dream.
My least favorite piece of art
Cao Xiaodong
Born: Lianyungang City, Jiangsu, 1961. Lives and works in Beijing
The reason i am not really like this picture is when i saw this printing i can't get any idea of it. and hard to understand this without explain. and i think this kind style is far away form now, its hard to understand that artist want to tell us.
