Regeneration: Contemporary Chinese Art From China and the US
Regeneration: Contemporary Chinese Art From China and the US
Curated by Dan Mills and Xiaoze Xi
This exhibition includes some of the most exciting contemporary Chinese art being made today: artists who have been prominent in the international scene since the late 1980s, who have received international attention for their work in the last decade, and emerging artists who are currently being recognized internationally. The 26 artists reside in Bejing, Shanghai, Goungzhou, New York and Pennsylvania.
The work in this exhibition is diverse and wide-ranging, and includes drawing, installation, painting, photography, prints, sculpture, and mixed media. The artists share thematic concerns. Some employ or appropriate traditional Chinese art forms in new ways. The significant social and cultural transformations occurring in China today are investigated by some of the artists. All represent the vital and rapid regeneration of contemporary life and culture in China today.
