It is part of an exhibit by one of China's leading artists and is being shown in Europe for the first time.

Huang Yong Ping's Bat Project (2004-05) will be on show at Nottingham Contemporary from 15 April to 26 July.

The artwork refers to an international incident in 2001 in which a Chinese fighter jet collided with a US surveillance plane. It has been banned in China but has been exhibited in America.
