Contemporary Chinese Art
For ONLY three days (April 19-21) and ONLY at the Asian Art Museum, see a special installation of never-before-seen artworks by some of China's most celebrated and emerging artists.
PURE VIEWS "溪山清遠" takes its name from a work of art by Song Dynasty painter Xia Gui (1195-1224). Practices and techniques from this diverse group of living Chinese painters are exposed as the artists reflect and respond to their shared artistic heritage in an ever-changing global environment. Featured artists include Fang Lijun, Shang Yang, Ye Yongqing, Yue Minjun,Wang Guangyi, Zhang Xiaogang, and Zhou Chunya. Pure Views is curated by Lu Peng and Bai Hua, and co-organized and sponsored by iCulture and Institutions of Chinart.
This installation will culminate in MATCHA on April 21, 5-9 pm, wherein four of these artists—Hong Lei, Wang Guangyi, Yue Minjun, and Zhou Chunya, along with critic Liu Chun and curator Lu Peng—will gather in a lively panel discussion about art in China today. You will also have one last chance to see Pure Views before the paintings are de-installed and shipped back to China. You can also see special exhibition Bali, stroll the galleries, go on a docent tour, mingle over cocktails and DJ-spun music.
