Contemporary Art From China
July 26, 2008 - October 04, 2008
Opening Reception: July 26, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
"Absurd Recreation: Contemporary Art from China" is a multi-media group exhibition of artists from China who use playful, humorous, ritualistic imagery, as if they were engaging in an absurdist, leisurely "recreation" that focuses on their interior lives and keeps the external world at an arm’s length. They also have as a common theme the "re-creation" of settings, events, and situations, as if trying to recover scenes from a cultural amnesia, in reaction to the rapidly changing political, social, cultural, economic, and environmental landscapes in China. Artists in the exhibition include Chen Chieh-jen, Chen Wei, Hong Hao, Liu Qinghe, Wang Wei, Xie Xiaoze, Xu Ruotao, Xu Zhen, and Zhao Liang. Support provided by Morono Kiang Gallery, Los Angeles and Falling Leaves Foundation. Organized by UCR Sweeney Art Gallery, and curated by gallery director Tyler Stallings. Catalog available.
