Artist Wang Guangyi exhibited his large installation work Natural Material at Today Art Museum in a retrospective in 2012, which is composed of more than 50,000 bags of rice stored in traditional jute bags.

Wang used to work at a local grain depot, and the smell of grain in jute bags impressed him.
