The Contractors is an ongoing multi-disciplinary project that explores the modern myth of Chinese urbanization and construction culture through performances, new media projects and information rendering.  An irreverent take on the runaway capitalist economy within China, we intend to draw parallels between rampant urban development and the current unbridled international market for contemporary Chinese art.  Previous projects-performances of power point presentations, fake media interviews, and impromptu interventions in art world events seek to re-position notions of 'success' and 'achievement' alongside issues of production and questionable business practices within the two overlapping worlds of art and property investment.

The Contractors is comprised of multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural artists/writers/curators/construction workers from the USA and China. Conceived in 2006, The Contractors consist of three members: Rania Ho, Wei Weng and Pauline Yao. The group has organized interventions in printed magazines, art fairs and performance festivals, performed in nightclubs and has a formative online following. They also have a hand in the fabrication of high-rise skyscrapers and highway overpasses. The band is currently based in Beijing, China. They accept most bribes.
